THE storming of the Capitol by scores of supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump, egged on by his appearance at a rally hours earlier in which he ranted that “we will never concede,” will be remembered by all — but likely in very different ways.
For Trump’s diehard supporters, four of whom appear to have been killed, they will remember their “martyrs” who perished in a feeble attempt to let their objections to the confirmation of November’s election result be known.
They will likely remember the actions of the mob as necessary and heroic, since they have swallowed baseless claims of voter fraud peddled by their man in the White House.
