Quite often, I felt very lonely in speaking out against President Donald Trump. There were too few of us to counter the Trump narrative being amplified by conservative media outlets. The fact is, too few Republican elected officials spoke out against the daily outrages of President Trump before Wednesday's Trump-encouraged violent mob besieged the US Capitol . The violent insurrection left five people dead, sent members of Congress ducking for cover and left offices and corridors vandalized. Those who enabled or turned a blind eye to the offenses of President Trump over these past four years should not be conducting the impending GOP autopsy.
