I should add that I don't believe that Democrats are blaming all Republicans in Congress: just those who persisted in challenging the election EVEN AFTER the overall effort had resulted in the first assault on our national seat of government in more than 200 years.

They absolutely had to do that. If they allowed them to end the political process of challenging the election...thatтАЩs giving into terrorism and encouraging others to take similar action whenever they want to call a halt to anything.
But...it wasnтАЩt the first assault at the Capitol. Lolita Lebrun and her fellow Puerto Rican activists shot five Congressmen at the Capitol in 1954 over an immigration bill. She was sentenced to 50 years, Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence after 25 years, and she went back to Puerto Rico to continue her тАЬactivismтАЭ. Her portrait is in the Smithsonian, honored as a тАЬfreedom fighterтАЭ.
Then there was Susan Rosenbaum in 1983, member of a terrorist group associated with the Weather Underground that bombed the Capitol Building in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Senate Republicans...Clinton commuted her sentence and sheтАЩs now fundraising for BLM.

The term "stuck on stupid" comes to mind.
@Neil....Merleliz has you beat in this debate.
Dems challenged the 2016 election, but that doesn't count, right?
Not unless it immediately followed an insurrection that was sparked by the substance of those objections.
