Opinion | Giving Trump a free pass for the Capitol siege would be a disaster for America's image around the world. By BrettBruen.

The world is watching whether the US holds President Donald Trump accountable for the attack on the US Capitol.

I believe we are likely to see increased international instability if Trump is allowed to threaten American democracy and lawmakers with impunity. Leaders looking to secure or hold onto power in fragile democracies will take great comfort from our lack of action and accountability. They will point to some of the very same "let's move on" arguments now being made by a number of Republicans.

If there is little to no action, the ramifications will not be limited to our own country. From Brasilia to Budapest, authoritarian leaders who have been emboldened by the American president will have another argument to further seize power.

PBRPLLC BrettBruen He & all involved must pay dearly. We can't claim to be a nation of laws if we allow the person responsible for forming, inciting and directing the insurrectionist to the Capitol. They must all pay dearly.

BrettBruen ... Would be a disaster for America's image around the world As if the last 4 years of not holding him accountable for anything didn't already do that

TimHannan BrettBruen And everything else that he did the last four years.

BrettBruen So very true. Trump must be held accountable. Impeach and convict Trump.

TimHannan BrettBruen It really is astounding that those insurrectionists were allowed to walk away that night.... A detention camp should have been set up on the spot that night, to round these traitors up, start processing them and figure who did what, and what to do with them.

BrettBruen Lol oh?

BrettBruen The pressure by globalist elites is mounting...China is behind all that is happening as they want everything Trump out of mainstream society.

BrettBruen It’s not about image. It’s about responsibility.
