Facts about Jan. 6 insurrection tell a different story

Dear editor,
This letter is in response to Marlys Good’s April 18, 2024 piece, “Too Much Gloom and Doom in the News.” To quote Marlys, “For years, I have been under the impression, always believed, that when immigrants came to this country, went through the legal process and became American citizens, they pledged an allegiance to our country and our Constitution. That didn’t mean they couldn’t disagree, but the “Death to America” chants allowed — right in the White House — are chilling, and should be chilling to everyone.”
The insinuation (noun: an indirect or covert suggestion or hint, especially of a derogatory nature) that immigrants were (are) the problem is flabbergasting.
Let’s take just a quick look at the facts in the case of the January 6th insurrectionists on our U.S. Capitol building, a reasonable example of just how wrong this assertion is.
