Celebrities likewise called on the Electoral College to ignore their respective states’ certified votes and instead vote against Trump

One Mich elector on the receiving end of this pressure campaign said: "I’ve received death threats; people talking about putting a bullet in the back of my mouth, burning my family, sending me pictures of a noose, & saying that if I don’t vote for Hillary Clinton, they’ll get me"

For those presuming Dems/media personalities only began with the "traitor"/"sedition" talk after the riot, that's not the case at all. On Morning Joe, GOPers like Cruz were accused of “sedition” and “treason” a combined total of 38 times — the day before the riot.
