An Awkward January 6 Anniversary

“It’s the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, a solemn reminder of a day that rattled U.S. democracy and set off far-reaching legal and political ramifications,” the Washington Post reports.

“But it’s an especially disheartening occasion this year for those who spent last year campaigning against Donald Trump on the issue of democracy, hoping that his central role leading up to Jan. 6 would disqualify him among voters.”

“Instead, they handed Trump a second term in the November election, and he is returning to the White House largely unapologetic about the events of that day — and even promising to pardon those charged in connection with the attack.”
