Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), chair of the House Rules Committee, told his colleagues on Wednesday that President Trump must be held accountable for the protests that occurred at the U.S. Capitol last week because “he organized” and “incited” them.
“It’s a miracle more people didn’t die,” McGovern said on the House floor, explaining that he witnessed “evil” in the eyes of those who breached the Speaker’s Lobby.
“Our country came under attack not from a foreign nation, but from within. These were not protesters. These were not patriots. These were traitors. There were domestic terrorists, Mr. Speaker, and they were acting under the orders of Donald Trump,” he claimed.
“We can’t have unity without truth and without accountability. And I’m not about to be lectured by people who just voted to overturn the results of a free and fair election. America was attacked, and we must respond,” he said.
“Even when the cause of this violence resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. … The actions of Donald Trump have called each of us to fulfill that oath today,” he said, adding that “our nation” and “freedom” are in danger every moment Trump remains in office.
“He must be held to account for the attack on our Capitol that he organized and he incited,” McGovern added.

Communism is here. CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA!!! Suicide by “mail in ballots!” Brilliant.
Have you seen what Sharyl Atkisson has said about the Capitol attack?
Silly that they claim Trump is responsible for an antifa-led riot.
Democrat LIES AND BS!!.....which started the day Trump was elected!
No, what? I cant find it. Thanks.
These opportunistic election thieves keep denouncing the protesters breaching their chamber.
The claim..... that protesters are a threat to ‘our’ democracy, a threat to ‘our’ founders and a
threat to ‘our’ principles, ‘our’ history, ‘our’ elections and ‘our’ sacred capitol.......is laughable.
These Democrap comrades marching in lockstep are as transparent as a bay window.
What they’re talking about is THEIR private Elective Club.
It’s all about Their Interests. Their power. Their safety and security.
That is what they want to preserve.
Not Our country, Our freedom, Our families’ safety and security.
I’M OUTRAGED!/s He violated their own rules by using the term “Mr.” Oh wait, he’s got a D in his title...
Next Wednesday federal marshals will be standing outside the White House with warrants for the arrest of Donald J. Trump. They will not rest until he, along with his family, is in prison.
I’m sorry, I just realized he is the Chairman of the Rules committee. It’s a twofer.
It’s good when the government fears the people.
Is it possible for Trump to pardon himself?
Have you ever pondered what our Constitution would look like if our Founding Fathers had ever thought that the American citizens would be stupid enough to elect such idiots to Congress.
What a perfect opportunity they had when Trump invited 500,000 supporters to DC.
All the Antifa thugs had to do was get some Trump Flags and MAGA hats and they could bring their characteristic violence the the heart of our Capitol AND people would blame the Trump supporters for causing it.
One would have to be a complete moron not to understand this is exactly what happened.
The only skill the democRATS have.
He will have to leave early—in his own plane.
Good suggestion.
So he wants to unify with "traitors" and "domestic terrorists"?
More of the same.
