The events that led to the storming of the Capitol buildings last week have garnered attention from just about every news organization across the planet.

Pundits and politicians have weighed in on both sides regarding whether President Trump’s words and actions need to be held accountable for the damage to America’s democratic institutions as well as the five people who have since died as a result of the events that occurred on January 6, 2021.
