Not Only Did He Incite It, He Didn't Do Anything To Stop It -Sen. Klobuchar On T's Failed Coup In a compelling segment from Stephen Colbert's Late Show, Senator Amy Klobuchar discussed the alarming events surrounding the Capitol riot. She emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that President T not only incited the mob that breached the Capitol but also failed to act to halt the violence once it began. Klobuchar shared her experience during the Capitol riots from a secure location inside the Capitol. She articulated her fears for the nation while recounting how she and her colleagues were forced to evacuate as the mob stormed the building. “This is not just a protest,” Klobuchar remarked, stressing the direct responsibility of the President in inciting the violence. Amidst the chaos, Klobuchar underscored a remarkable moment of unity, with the Senate ultimately voting 93 to 6 against the objections to the Arizona election results, which were part of the motivation behind the protest. This bipartisan action demonstrated that, despite the pandemonium, the Senate could come together to affirm the validity of the election results. She expressed strong emotions about the scenes unfolding live on television, indicating that her mind was occupied with the implications for democracy. Klobuchar noted the conversations taking place among senators, discussing the surreal nature of attack while being under threat themselves. As the dialogue progressed, Colbert and Klobuchar touched upon the consequences that should follow such actions, emphasizing the need for justice against those involved in inciting the riot, including the President himself. They discussed the potential for impeachment and the invocation of the 25th Amendment as crucial steps in addressing the treacherous breach of democracy. Klobuchar concluded by affirming that the perpetrators of the violence would face justice, a commitment echoed in her and Colbert's shared sense of urgency for accountability. She began advocating for moving forward as a nation, while reiterating that those who threatened democracy must be prosecuted, setting the stage for the incoming administration. This segment serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous political atmosphere of early 2021 and the resilience of American democratic institutions faced with unprecedented challenges.
