Politics isn’t a game. Trump knew, or should have known, that the mob he was inciting would cause violence. People died in the Capitol attack when he refused to call them off. The Senate must convict. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The impeachment trial has laid out powerful video evidence that ex-president Trump incited the mob with lies about a “stolen” election, urged them to fight for him, and then sat back and watched when they followed his direction. The facts are not in question. — PolitiTweet.org

"Even as the attack was under way, he tweeted words of support to his violent supporters. Then...he made it clear that this was only the beginning. He was right. Unless we take action, the violence is only just beginning." - @RepDianaDeGette — PolitiTweet.org

The ex-president’s guilt is overwhelmingly obvious. There are only two sides to choose from: the side of violence or the side of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The people who attacked the Capitol said that they were doing it on Trump’s orders. They knew what the ex-president meant. And so did he. https://t.co/QszCkOgFNs — PolitiTweet.org

"If you or I make a mistake, and something very bad happens, we would show remorse. We would accept responsibility. But President Trump didn't do any of that. Why not? Because he intended for the events of January 6 to happen. How do we know? He told us." - @tedlieu — PolitiTweet.org

"Would you bet the safety of your family on that? Would you bet the future of your democracy on that? President Trump declared his conduct 'totally appropriate.' So if he gets back into office and it happens again, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves." - @RepRaskin — PolitiTweet.org

"Is there [anyone] who believes that if he is ever allowed by the Senate to get back into the Oval Office, Donald Trump would stop inciting violence to get his way? Would you bet the lives of more police officers on that?" - @RepRaskin — PolitiTweet.org

"January 6th was not some radical break from [Trump's] normal law-abiding and peaceful disposition. This was his state of mind. This was his essential MO...He knew." "He knew they were coming. He brought them here. And he welcomed them with open arms." - @RepRaskin — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

"Trump knew exactly what he was doing in inciting the January 6th mob. Exactly. He had just seen how easily his words and actions inspired violence in Michigan. He sent a clear message to his supporters." - @RepRaskin — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The fact that numerous Republican officials called Trump and begged him to call off the mob, saying “you’re the only one who can,” should put to rest any foolishness about who was responsible. They knew he was responsible on January 6th. — PolitiTweet.org

"The siege of the Michigan State House was effectively a state-level dress rehearsal for the siege of the U.S. Capitol that Trump incited on January 6th. President Trump refused to condemn the attacks...he upheld the righteousness of his violent followers' cause." - @RepRaskin — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The ex-president's violent rhetoric did not just start on January 6th. There was a deliberate build up. He was desperate, he knew he was losing, he lost, violence was his last resort. He told them to "stop the steal," to "fight like hell," and they did just that. @Morning_Joe: https://t.co/WKVYg4UCe7 — PolitiTweet.org

Fascinated by science and space from a young age, she had been further inspired by watching Nichelle Nichols' portrayal of Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek. She opened communications on the Space Shuttle with Uhura's phrase, "hailing frequencies open." https://t.co/Gfq8fFS7Ep — PolitiTweet.org
