John, With Donald Trump's third indictment, we're again reminded of that terrible day on January 6th, 2021, when the glass of the Capitol was shattered, and its doors were stormed by political extremists encouraged by President Trump. That day, our democracy nearly broke, and a tragic moment was cemented in our nation's history. The trajectory of our country nearly altered course forever. It was because of leaders like Governor Larry Hogan that we stayed together. Within 24 hours, Governor Hogan stood in the same spot where George Washington began the tradition of a peaceful transition of power, and he condemned the assault on the Capitol and unified our country once more. |
"The Mob may have shattered glass... but they did not shatter our democracy... our institutions have held firm in the face of this attempted insurrection." – Gov. Larry Hogan, Jan. 7, 2021 |
