Opinion: What Americans deserve to know after the deadly Capitol riot
CNNEditor’s Note: Joe Lockhart is a CNN political analyst. We don’t need background quotes, tweets or written statements; we need Wray, along with our federal law enforcement officials, to stand at a podium on live television and explain how Trump supporters, who had been organizing online for months, were allowed to storm the Capitol. Initiating impeachment proceedings would also force Republican members of Congress to go on the record and declare whether they are on the side of Trump’s fascist thugs or our democracy. If White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany can’t face a free press and answer any questions after what happened yesterday, she should resign. Regardless of whether White House officials decide to jump ship just days before the end of Trump’s term, these staffers owe us all an explanation for their role during the President’s reign of political terror.
