mob talking point. Trump and Republicans caused this crisis and hurling slurs at Democrats won't get them out of it:

As for liberal mobs and mob rule, please. For Republicans, “mob” is apparently a synonym for people not on their side who are exercising their constitutional rights to assemble, dissent, call for investigations, and perhaps vote them out of office, while wearing pink hats.

But let's place blame where it really belongs:

Finally, and most nakedly diversionary, Republicans want voters to believe that Democrats will thrust the country into a constitutional crisis. But Americans can see with their own eyes that we are already in the midst of many crises: Constitutional, as Trump attacks U.S. law enforcement agencies and the Russia investigation and tries to harness the Justice Department for his own protection. Political and civility crises, as his ruthless nastiness toward rivals and even people like Christine Blasey Ford spreads like a contagion among some in his party and goes ignored by most others.

Ethical crises, as Trump's businesses rake in money from foreign interests, as he hides his financial dependence on Russia and other nations and, apparently, his financial fraud; and lies his way through each and every day. Fiscal crises, as the soaring debt and plunging stock market attest. Daily crises of competence — a president who won't learn his job, a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations suddenly resigning, the dawning recognition that a Washington Post columnist likely was killed by Saudis at their consulate in Turkey, and we do not have an ambassador to either nation.

On top of that, we are having a national identity crisis at age 242. Isn’t America supposed to be a shining city on a hill, leading the world in trade, diplomacy, human rights, tolerance, freedom of speech and freedom of the press?

We have plenty of crises. We don’t need another one created by Republicans ramping up to rhetorical Defcon 1, spreading surreal fictions, because they might lose an election.
