St. Louis Post Dispatch op-ed urges Missouri senators Hawley and Blunt to bring Trump to justice

“There is no way to credibly argue that Trump protected and defended the Constitution when video evidence shows him directing a mob to storm the Capitol and interrupt constitutionally mandated proceedings to certify the Electoral College result,” the board said.

The editorial board pointed to quotes from former President Trump when he spoke at a rally on Jan. 6, during which he said that lawmakers were “bad people” for going forward with the electoral vote certification and that “when you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules” to stop them.

“No wonder members of that crowd then marched to the Capitol, broke windows and entered yelling, ‘Hang Mike Pence!’ Their president directed them on this course, as several arrested protesters stated afterward,” the paper continued.

The paper pointed to Hawley’s words from an interview with Fox News when violence broke out at Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, when he said “We’re going to protect the American people. It’s the first job of the American government … Any elected official who has law enforcement responsibility and won’t do it needs to resign.”

The paper says the law and order theme Hawley took before must be used now.

“The sole responsibility left to Hawley and his colleagues is to enforce the law and bring Trump to justice,” the paper said. “Because any elected official who has law enforcement responsibility and won’t do it needs to resign.”
