LinkLinksOpinion Jamal Holtz in The Post: D.C. needs statehood more than ever, and the Capitol riot proves it By Editor On Jan 19, 2021 Last updated Jan 19, 2021 41 Share Jan. 6 began with Black joy and ended with white hate — a day like too many in our history.

But, as the day went on, I watched in horror as insurrectionists invaded my neighborhood, and a treasonous mob stormed into the “people’s house,” all initiated by the now-twice-impeached President Trump. 41 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
