I found the footage of the woman who was shot in the capitol building. I'm not sharing it.
Regardless of her political beliefs, she didn't get up this morning thinking that today would be her last day on Earth. Neither did the 3 others who died as a result of today's events.

Their blood is on Trump's hands. He misled them, he incited them, and he sent them to the Capitol.
That young woman probably thought that she was defending democracy. She gave her life for it. That is normally commendable. But she was lied to.
She died because Trump lied.

I have nothing but sadness in my heart that a young life was snuffed out long before her time. And that same heart goes out to her family who must be devastated by her loss.
These are the consequences of political lies - and we must never forget them.

Remember her as we remember Jo Cox, a terrible loss in an act of politically-motivated and inspired violence.
And that is why the brand of bitter and hate-driven politics MUST end, here and abroad. It costs lives. Too many lives.
