In the days and weeks after the January 6 attack, right-wingers tried to
downplay what happened. They said it was small. They accused us of lying
by saying the attack was “only” at the Capitol dome.

The footage and evidence from the January 6th committee hearing in
Congress this week proves that no – they were everywhere. The screams were
everywhere.

This is what American terrorism looks like.

Here’s just a few of the revelations from the hearing and other crucial
facts. 

* The committee will provide proof that Rep. Scott Perry and multiple
other Republican members of Congress sought presidential pardons for
their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election and their
actions on January 6. It means they consciously knew and believed that
their actions were criminal and proceeded to support an attempted coup
of the U.S.

* The committee released not previously publicly seen video footage from
police body cameras, Capitol hallway and office footage, as well as
police radio communication, that shows just how coordinated and
dangerous the events were. Meanwhile, Republicans like Lauren Boebert
were tweeting Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s location as this was all
happening.

* Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife was involved in January
6th. She attended the rally and relentlessly urged the President’s
Chief to overturn the US election. Justice Thomas later refused to
recuse himself from rulings related to the matter.^1

* 21 Republicans voted against granting the Congressional Gold Medal to
Capitol police officers who tried to defend the Capitol on January
6.^2 

The facts unveiled are extremely serious and could potentially lead to
charges from the Department of Justice. This committee is bipartisan –
both Republican and Democratic members were part of the investigation that
uncovered these facts – and yesterday was just day one.

Republicans are walking away from this. Trying to pretend it didn’t
happen. It’s our responsibility to remember. The next hearings will take
place on Monday and Wednesday at 10:00 AM ET. [ [link removed] ]To watch the hearings,

Lastly, the choice we are facing this November is not between two
political parties. It’s a choice to save our democracy or to turn it over
to the rioters that stormed the Capitol. If you’re able to chip in to help
us go toe-to-toe with right-wing Republicans who are still trying to
spread lies about what happened, [ [link removed] ]you can do so here.

We’ll keep you posted as the hearings continue. 

With resolve, 

Team AOC
