As important as it is for the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol to make the nation understand what really happened on that horrific day, the panel has a more crucial mission: making sure that such an effort to overturn the result of a legitimate election does not happen again.
The potential is there, because the sedition continues. That should not be lost as the bipartisan House panel lays its case before the American people. Jan. 6 was not just a day; it was the opening salvo of a movement to undermine democracy.
Congress has yet to act on changing the vague language in the archaic Electoral Count Act, which sets the rules for how Congress tallies the electoral votes in presidential elections. The rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence” on Jan. 6 believed that the then-vice president had the power to throw out electoral votes at will and were infuriated that Pence was too principled to do so.
Their rage channeled that of then-President Donald Trump. One of the more jolting claims Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) made during the Jan. 6 committee’s opening hearing on Thursday night was that when Trump learned how the insurrectionists were threatening his vice president, he expressed sympathy … for the murderous mob. “The president responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea,’ ” Cheney said. “Mike Pence ‘deserves’ it.”
Trump has denied saying that, but has suffused his party, top to bottom, with fealty to the lies and conspiracy theories that ignited his supporters who breached the Capitol that day. All around the country, Republicans have not only embraced Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, but are also running on promises to further undermine the electoral process.

Biden bragged about the coming election fraud, the Steal.
step 1 to stopping the sedition...close down enemy propaganda like a certain Washington “news” paper
Methinks they do project to much.
Sedition is a good thing when global leftists have taken free speech hostage
“We must silence those who question elections”
“One of the more jolting claims Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) made”
Boy, if that’s your opening source, I’m sure the article is full of horse manure. That’s why I never click on MSM links and avoid giving them web traffic.
It is getting tiresome having traitors accusing everybody else of insurrection.
I now know where the term "Karen" came from.
Never forget that they knew all along. Every Leftist who says they didn’t know is either a liar, is decieved and parroting deception, or has their head shoved so far up their ass that they are basically still able to be surprised that the sky is blue.
Washington post = paid Democrat liars
Stop posting this garbage.
Really rich coming from the WaPo that spent 4 years conspiring and colluding with those attempting to overturn the results of the 2016 election by spreading the “Russia Collusion” hoax and a host of other lies and hoaxes.
My response for the writer: Tell me you drank every last drop of the Dem liars’ Koolaid without using those words.
” . . . undermine the electoral process . . . “ = only let actual citizens vote and then tally the results accurately
Sedition
NOUN
conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch
Ya see, this in their view is the REAL crime. We ARE NOT supposed to rebel against THEIR government. And we ARE NOT supposed to put anybody in office who is not pre-approved by THEM.
Except this is America. We as a people are steeped in rebelling against the government.
These people are vile. I could see her on Whoopi Goldberg having a good time in their echo chamber.
The WaPo, being an outlet for IC TLA, Deep State disinformation, needs to turn themselves in for Sedition.
Should be: could see her on with Whoopi Goldberg
