It is not the first time that the democracy of the United States has been in evidence, in 2000 the election was highly questioned and was resolved in the Supreme Court after doubts about the vote in Florida that was the key to the victory of George W. Bush about Al Gore, who unsuccessfully challenged the process.
The slogan of the mob was to hang Mike Pence, under his breath, President Trump said: “he deserves it, those protesters are not doing anything wrong.” This was what was heard at the White House on January 6, 2021. The desperate president because his complaints were rejected and his lawyers failed with all the resources filed to reverse the electoral defeat.
There is no doubt that the United States owes an enormous debt to the Capitol Police in Washington, to the guards who reinforced security and to a lesser extent, but very relevant to former Vice President Mike Pence, for the defense they made of the Constitution, democracy , the integrity of the legislators and the facilities in the face of the insurrection that took place during the session to qualify the presidential elections that Joe Biden won and Donald Trump lost.
As happens after a presidential election, the vice president presides over the joint meeting of Congress in which legislators review and confirm the votes sent by the Electoral College after the states made the corresponding count.
Via Twitter, Trump pressed: “The states want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud” (…) “Do it Mike, this is a moment of extreme courage!”
But the Vice President, with extensive legislative experience, clarified, “I heard that President Trump said that he had the right to annul the elections, he is wrong.”
With the session underway, a large group of well-equipped vandals entered the capitol in search of Vice President Pence and the leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, whose lives were in serious risk had it not been for the timely intervention of the secret service personnel and police in the building, if they had taken a few minutes they would have caught them and changed the history of the United States forever.
The insurgents were out of control, they set up a scaffold to hang Pence, they went through the offices in search of the leader Pelosi, fortunately the two were already under protection.
It is not the first time that the democracy of the United States has been in evidence, in 2000 the election was highly questioned and was resolved in the Supreme Court after doubts about the vote in Florida that was the key to the victory of George W. Bush about Al Gore, who unsuccessfully challenged the process.
The same thing happened with the 2016 election that resulted in President Donald Trump, the interference of Russia during the campaign was documented, but without consequences beyond the sanctions against the Moscow regime.
At the moment it is very difficult to predict whether the former president will be incriminated and disqualified for the 2024 election, the truth is that sanity seems to return among Republicans after having handed over the party to a celebrity who made them lose identity and congruence.
The story of January 6, 2021 is far from over, this week was the sixth hearing of the committee investigating the assault on the capitol from which very compromising information is coming out for Donald Trump, his lawyers and closest collaborators, who, apparently They supported the slogan. HANG PENCE.
