   Between the acting of a dreadful thing,
   And the first motion, all the interim is
   Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream:

   Are then in council; and the state of man,
   Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
   The nature of an insurrection. William Shakespeare, Jul. Cæsar.

Examples of insurrection in a Sentence

1. Cori Bush:

   If we fail to remove a White supremacist President who incited a White supremacist insurrection, it's communities like Missouri's first district that suffer the most, the 117th Congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives. The first step in that process is to root out White supremacy starting with impeaching the White supremacist in chief.

2. Nancy Pelosi:

   The information we know right now raises serious questions about how close Justice Thomas and his wife were to the planning and execution of the insurrection.

3. Mitch McConnell:

   We all were here ; we saw what happened, it was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next. That's what it was.

4. Jeff Angelo:

   Trying to call this an insurrection, and compare it to January 6th -- that, my friends, is just ridiculous. They went through the metal detectors, they got their temperatures checked, they had a right to protest. If some of'em got out of line -- then the state Capitol police did their job.

5. Michael Fanone:

   When I listen to the rhetoric that was used in the speeches leading up to the insurrection at Capitol Police, I mean there's no other word to describe it -- at least from my perspective -- than' incitement.' And in some degrees, I would go even further and say that it sanctioned that behavior, certain rhetoric that was used by certain individuals that day -- I mean, to hear people after the fact downplay the event knowing what I went through and what hundreds of other officers went through that day -- I've said before it's disgraceful.
