[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Yes, of course Paul..(retired teacher here chiming in from New Orleans).. Fun fact: The root of the word 'educate' is EDUCERE: to lead out...presumably from ignorance to wisdom. Ergo, with that, comes an ethical responsibility to use it, for the common good. Which really rankles the professor. As he observes these two celebrated students of his, literally - gone rogue...

I'm thoroughly disgusted with these guys too. And anyone who has any access to intuition and logic and a modicum of ideas about ethics would be able to see through these guys too. It's not only shameful, it's embarrassing to know that other countries are watching this. And I agree ... not only don't supporters know what this legal smoke screen is all about, but they don't have the curiosity to look up what Cruz and Hawley are even referring to. It's all smoke and mirrors and the blind trust that their followers show them is what politicians like these two are counting on.

They fully knew that they were lying to and riling up the crowd who defiled our sacred capital and whose actions are a direct affront To our constitutional government and rule of law. They need to be indicted and held accountable. Lives were lost and the People’s building, Our nations capital, is now a heavily guarded fortress where our Congress people do not feel safe to work. It is an utter disgrace and deeply sad. These two Thugs, Recipients of the highest level of education and white privilege need to be held accountable for their reckless and distractive behavior.
