I applaud House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her commitment to an investigation after the majority of Republicans in the Senate voted against a bipartisan Jan. 6 commission. How can the Jan. 6 insurrectionists and those Republicans reconcile their actions with the preamble to the Constitution, which the Republicans swore to protect and preserve and which states, We the people ... in order to form a more perfect union ... insure domestic tranquility ... promote the general welfare ...?

Compare this to the flag held by many insurrectionists the Gadsden flag which depicts a coiled rattlesnake with the words Dont tread on me. Me: the selfish cry of the libertarian, is antithetical to the We of the preamble and the Declaration of Independence, which recognized that laws are for the public (i.e. common) good.

If the Gadsden folks believed they had the right to commit insurrection resulting in the deaths of five people and property damage in excess of $1million, how do we know Republicans were not complicit? Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., raised a fist in solidarity with the insurrectionists, and Republican members of Congress gave tours before the insurrection.

The snake is an apropos symbol for the Gadsden folks. A snake can mean a deceitful and treacherous person; traitor; turncoat. Criminal investigation and prosecution will take care of the Gadsden folks. A full investigation will expose all of the traitors involved in this heinous and despicable event.
