Kindle Notes & Highlights
These were some of the same people who had protected my family when the threat we faced was from al-Qaeda terrorists. Now they were protecting me again—this time in the face of threats from our fellow citizens, mobilized to violence by an American president.
That man was sitting in his dining room at the White House two miles away watching television coverage of the attack on the United States Capitol. Donald Trump refused to tell his mob to leave.
People died on January 6 because of Donald Trump’s lies. Had it not been for the actions of courageous members of law enforcement, many more lives likely would have been lost.
When you have violent mobs storming the floor of the House of Representatives and the floor of the United States Senate and the president’s response is to say he loves those people… it is absolutely counter to the Constitution and counter to the peaceful transfer of power and the values on which this republic was built.
