Subvert Democracy

The evidence is indisputable, because the former president incited a mob to a violent insurrection aimed at halting certification of an election he lost did this in full view of the public and of the rioters who freely admit they acted as they did because of him. There is no question that former President Trump must be held accountable in the Senate for his actions. No other outcome is acceptable if we hope to build and sustain a healthy democracy.

U.S. Population

The U.S. population overall is about three-quarters white and 13% Black, according to Census Bureau statistics.
