Worried about the optics of having the Guard protecting the Capitol. Yeah, I guess the optics of a bunch of extremists overrunning the Capitol is a better look.

This guy did a breakdown of Trump's speech inciting the insurrection (which leaves no doubt in my mind Trump is responsible). He literally tells the crowd he's going to march to the Capitol with them, and then he hops in his limo and goes back to the WH.

If prosecutors follow through with this and charge people with felony murder (for those who don't know, felony murder is a charge people get tacked on with when someone dies in the commission of another felony) those people are going to be really upset unless Trump pardons them. Which leads me to my next point, Trump absolutely needs to be removed because no doubt he is probably already considering pardoning anybody charged in connection with this insurrection.
