John, I wanted to check in with you in regards to this week’s domestic terrorism attack on the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
My staff and I are safe—albeit shaken—after sheltering in a barricaded office for six hours after the violent mob entered the Capitol.
Afterwards, I was able to join my colleagues until the early hours of the morning to finish our duty of certifying Joe Biden’s election. But John, our work is not done there.
I want to be very clear: this attack was incited by President Trump. And Congress has some serious work to do in order to provide accountability and guarantee that this never, ever happens again.
Here’s how we do that:
- The House Oversight Committee must conduct a full investigation of the violent, unlawful events that took place. The American people have a right to know about what exactly happened, why government agencies failed to coordinate, and why Capitol police were not prepared.
- The president must be removed from office immediately. If not through the 25th amendment, then through swift impeachment and removal proceedings. He is an imminent danger to our democracy, and we cannot wait until Joe Biden’s inauguration to try to put this all behind us.
I have signed on as a cosponsor of articles of impeachment drafted by my colleagues in Congress. John, add your name now to join me in demanding that President Trump is immediately removed from office, and that Congress conducts a full investigation of the violent domestic terrorism attack that he incited.
Thanks for being by my side,
Katie
