January 6, 2021, was not “One day in January” according to former Vice President Mike Pence.
January 6, 2021, was not a “Normal tourist visit” as Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) would like you to believe. We saw the photos of Clyde frantically barricading the house chamber doors to keep the rioters from entering the room.
January 6, 2021, was a dark day that wounded 140 police officers and cost five U.S. Capitol Police officers their lives.
Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, two of the U.S. Capitol Police Officers who defended the Capitol that day, wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post. An excerpt from their article said it best.

“We and our fellow officers who were wounded physically and psychologically are not the only casualties of that terrible day in American history. The fabric of our nation and our long-standing faith in the durability of our democracy were critically damaged as well. Only when the whole truth is made public and all of the people responsible for the atrocity of Jan. 6 are held to account can true healing begin.”

January 6, 2021, was a failed coup, not just an attack on the Capitol but also on democracy and the rule of law. I have been front and center demanding that anyone who played a role, no matter how small, be held accountable.
As a nation, we must take the necessary steps to assure our democracy is never attacked again.
Join me and let’s work together.
