First of all without reservations I condone the mob the stormed inside the US Capitol. No amount of anger allows it. I'm shocked that this happened--I expect much better behavior from patriots.
Clearly President Trump's talk of a "rigged" election angered the protesters. And this was not a peaceful protest. There were numerous irregularities in the November count, mail-in balloting among added to the problems but I am not convinced this chicanery would have swayed the count to change the results. Dishonest reporting from the media is another matter, But the president should have conceded a long time ago.
But now the media is claiming that Trump "incited" the protesters. That's a stretch.
One woman, Ashli Babbit, a 14-year Air Force veteran, was shot to death during the melee. Keep her in your prayers.

I don't think he had to concede, Trump wasn't wrong to challenge the results. Was hoping today would be the change and it doesn't look like it will be. Biden for four years, we hit a low point today and I expect we will come back from this. We have no choice the Republic is worth fighting for, and we can do so without this violence.
