To the Editor:

Four years ago, MAGA Republican traitors instituted an insurrection and attacked the U.S. Capitol that resulted in injury and death of law enforcement offices and did major damage to the U.S. Capitol.  This insurrection was a violent act encouraged and incited by Tramp.  It was also an attack on American democracy.  

Trump should be going to prison for doing so and not back to the White House.  As the leader of this insurrection, he should have been charged and found guilty of treason.  

Now Republicans are trying to rewrite history as if it did not happen or that it was “just a peaceful protest by patriots.”  

To make matters worse, Trump says he will pardon the convicted felon criminals that he calls “patriots” that many have been prosecuted and found guilty of assault on law enforcement officers and destruction of public property.  

This day needs to be officially designated as January 6 Insurrection Day as September 11 is for 9/11 and December 7 is for Pearl Harbor Day.

Wisconsin has another embarrassing Republican idiot that has been elected to Congress.  He is Tony Wied (R-De Pere) and he represents northeast Wisconsin.  

Wied said that he voted for the re-election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House because he wanted to “fulfil our promises to the American people and implement the agenda of President Trump was elected overwhelmingly elected to carry out in November.”

“Overwhelmingly,” you got to be kidding.  Trump did not even win 50 percent of the vote nationally nor in Wisconsin.  

Wied joins other Republican members of Congress from Wisconsin that are national embarrassments, including Ron Johnson, Derrick Van Orden (R-Prairie du Chien) and Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah) that do and say some of the most stupid things.  They all belong in the loony bin and not in Congress.
