Both Sides Threaten Democracy – WSJ

President Biden marked the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by calling it a “day that we nearly lost America” and asked: “Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?”

That’s an important question, and what happened on Jan. 6 was a national disgrace. A riotous mob disrupted Congress in its constitutional responsibility to observe the counting of the votes of the Electoral College. But to conclude that “we nearly lost America” to a lunatic wearing buffalo horns is hysterical hyperbole to say the least. Once these yahoos were kicked out of the building, Congress calmly affirmed Mr. Biden’s election.
