Team, the events of January 6th continue to
haunt us.
But that’s especially true for the Capitol Police who put their
lives on the line that day to defend the U.S. Capitol and the
lawmakers inside (including myself).
In the days following, multiple Capitol Police members died,
while the MAGA Republicans on the other side of the aisle
pretended nothing even happened.
Just last month however, we heard harrowing testimony from some of
the Capitol Police who were serving on January 6th -- reaffirming
the events of that day. And what we heard was heartbreaking and
disturbing:
“For most people, Jan. 6 happened for a few hours. But for those
of us who were in the thick of it, it has not ended.”
--
“I was grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor
to my country. I was at risk of being stripped of and killed with
my own firearm.”
--
“Some people are trying to deny what happened. To whitewash it...
Let's be clear. The rioters who tried to rob us of our democracy
were propelled here by a lie.”
Despite all this, MAGA Republicans are STILL trying to undermine,
downplay, and LIE about January 6th. They’re even planning a new MAGA protest for September 18th!
Friend, the committee’s work is far too
important to be undermined by far-right Republicans. That’s why I
need 10,000 grassroots supporters to support the January 6th
committee and tell Republicans in Congress to stop the lies and
do their jobs to protect our democracy NOW. Can I count on you? »
