Gleaning Facebook: Profile in Courage - Tom Rice

 I do not know much about Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina, but today he was a profile in courage when he put our republic above his party to set a precedent for American presidents in the future: No one is above the law.

His statement to his colleagues and constituents said:
“Once the violence began, when the Capitol was under siege, when the Capitol Police were being beaten and killed, and when the Vice President and the Congress were being locked down, the President was watching and tweeted about the Vice President’s lack of courage.
“For hours while the riot continued, the President communicated only on Twitter and offered only weak requests for restraint...
“...I have backed this President through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and voted for him twice. But, this utter failure is inexcusable.”

Wow, an old friend of mine is on his staff. I had no idea Rice voted to impeach today (he’s telling the truth when he says he has “backed this president through thick and thin”). I messaged my friend to please thank the representative from a fellow American.
