They had just heard the President's lawyer tell them they needed to have trial by combat. Their President had just filled their heads with lies about The Steal, about Mike Pence's failure to act, and about the fraudulent vote certification about to take place -- and that if they didn't fight for their country, they wouldn't have a country. That they should go to the Capitol and he would be with them. Right. They became a mob of criminal Republicans who broke into the #1 symbol of our democracy, chanting that they were going to hang the Vice President. And they trashed the place. And they did, for the hours they rampaged, bring the democratic process to a halt.
Fuck a political party that could produce a mob like that and then make all kinds of back-end justifications and qualifications for that mob. Fuck a party that has so little patriotism that it is willing to perpetuate Trump's lies about 2020, no matter what damage that does to the country. Hypocrisy, cowardice, and outrageous lies are the hallmarks of the GOP.
