jd vance, louis 16th and the french riots - trying to blame immigrants (as usual)

 

On 21 January 1793, Louis XVI, at age 38, was beheaded by a guillotine on the Place de la Révolution. As Louis XVI mounted the scaffold, he appeared dignified and resigned. He delivered a short speech in which he pardoned "...those who are the cause of my death.... ".^[71] He then declared himself innocent of the crimes of which he was accused, praying that his blood would not fall back on France.^[72] Many accounts suggest Louis XVI's desire to say more, but Antoine Joseph Santerre, a general in the National Guard, halted the speech by ordering a drum roll. The former king was then quickly beheaded
