It took genuine courage for each of the ten House Republican members to vote in favor of impeaching President Trump on Wednesday.

Exactly one week before the vote, a mob of Trump’s supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol and sent 15 police officers to the hospital — including one officer who died. If the mob was willing to savagely attack cops, it’s not hard to imagine what would have happened if they’d reached their intended targets.
