Today, the January 6 Committee begins hearings to hold all those
responsible for the Capitol insurrection accountable. We must do this for
our democracy — everything is on the line.
The Committee’s work is critical — we need to ensure people know how close
we came to losing our democracy. This is about accountability. This is
about making sure the perpetrators of the insurrection are punished. It’s
about making sure this never happens again.
When the House Floor was cleared on January 6th, about 30 of us were left
behind, trapped in the gallery as the insurrectionists invaded. I remember
fearing for my life as they pounded on the doors, only a few feet from
where I hid under the seats. I was trapped and prepared to fight back
using a cane and a gas mask. I am grateful that I reached safety later
that day, but our democracy is far from safe.
Donald Trump and his Republican allies, like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley,
peddled dangerous misinformation about our elections. We cannot forget the
horror of that day, fueled by the Big Lie.
And today, the GOP continues to attack our democracy with lies about our
elections. They spread misinformation as they attempt — and in some states
succeed — at restricting voting rights, making it harder for people to
cast a ballot.
We must hold those responsible for January 6 accountable and we must
protect our democracy. That’s why I’m redoubling my efforts to protect our
House Democratic majority in this crucial midterm election year.
