  1. Stephen Ayres, who has pleaded guilty to illegally entering the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 and who testified at a January 6th Committee hearing, provides a powerful lesson for Republican Party leaders and the obvious start to solving our country’s painful division: Tell the truth. Stephen Ayres has to rebuild his life, but at least now, he will know that his actions in life will be built on the wisdom gained through his pain: "The biggest thing for me is to take the blinders off and make sure you step back and see what's going on — before it's too late." Why is that lesson so hard for Republican leaders to process? They have seen the tragic consequences of their lies on the lives of people like Stephen Ayres, and they know they are lies. So, stop. It is really that simple. The lies of Republican leaders have not only hurt people like Steven Ayres, they have fed the hate of right-wing extremists — both individuals and para-military groups. Charlottesville, Buffalo, South Carolina, Oklahoma City, etc., all stand as tragic demonstrations of their hate and its fatal impact on innocent Americans. Reports make it clear that those groups are only gearing up for more violence in the future, egged on by Trump’s massive 2020 election lie. Here is the simple truth: There was no measurable fraud in the 2020 election. No one stole it. Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly.
