McConnell is the Head of the Senate and nobody can argue not measured and an expert law maker. Don't like him, but if he said insurrection he understood the exact meaning of his words.
Another point is the DC and Capitol police did according to the acting chief actually had a lot mobilised and indicate they stopped a lot of people coming in. It would have been an awful lot worse. Trump orchistrated this, he surpressed the response, 68 arrests and 1 actually from the District of Colombia. No surprise. Www.Fbi.gov/uscapitol for tips.
They "opened the fucking gates" because many in law enforcement are white supremacists themselves and support insurrections as long as the face of the insurrection is white and alt-right.

PERIOD.
Pro-Trump mob tried to hunt down Vice President Mike Pence once they breached the Capitol building because he was not loyal to their treasonous cause... 'Where is Pence?'

The 25th will rob him if pardon power. If you see a pardon dump for his kids, it's coming. Biden just said we all know its true, had that been BLM they would have been "treated very differently".
Pence was joined by his wife Karen Pence, daughter Charlotte and brother, Rep. Greg Pence, R-Indiana, for the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes in Congress Wednesday. Several of the violent Trump supporters who were rampaging the US Capitol were heard screaming "where's Mike Pence," the source said, frightening the vice president and his family. Yet, the President and his top aides barely lifted a finger to check in on Pence to make sure he and his family were unharmed, the source added. On Thursday, Charlotte Pence Bond, the vice president's daughter who had been at the US Capitol with him, tweeted her congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. From this better article: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/trump-pence-riot/index.html And Trump left him, his wife, and daughter there to die. Wouldn't even approve National Guard to come save him. And Mike still doesn't start 25th amendment procedures?
That would be most excellent. However, my understanding is that it would probably take a longer time to effect the 25th than Trump has remaining in office. Trump would have the right to contest the effort. And we all know how he would drag his feet, as we all saw him walk down that ramp.
