Their statements before, during and after the attack made clear the attack was done for Donald Trump at his instructions, and to fulfill his wishes.

When President Trump asked his supporters to come to D.C. to stop the steal, to stop the certification of the vote on January 6, his supporters took him seriously and literally.
What unfathomable horrors await us if we do not stand up now and say, no, this is not America? And we will not just express condolences and denunciations.
All of these people who had been arrested and charged, they are being held accountable for their actions. Their leader, the man who incited them, must be held accountable as well.
You don't have to take my word for it that the insurrectionist acted at Donald Trump's direction, they said so.
President Biden has correctly identified it as one of the great crises we must confront as a nation today.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing. I am so excited and grateful that we are finally working with an administration prepared to address the climate crisis.
Perhaps the single most important objective in reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, as the President has called for, is to eliminate the carbon emissions of the electricity sector.
I have called on the Biden administration to involve a geriatrician or expert in aging services on the COVID-19 response team.
If we can increase our capacity and have more rapid test results, it will continue--if we can't do that, it will continue to make it difficult for us to limit the spread.
The Biden administration absolutely has its work cut out for it. Indeed, it faces the greatest and most immediate challenge of any Presidential administration in modern memory.
I hope my Republican colleagues will join me, without delay, in supporting this bill for the American people. There is simply no time to waste.
the end of this nightmare is in sight. Now is the time to double down on our efforts
As Mr. Dingell used to say, our charge is broad--rooting out waste, fraud, and, abuse wherever we may find it--and I'm sure we'll have many opportunities in the 117th Congress.
The end of this nightmare is in sight. Now is the time to double down on our efforts, and finally turn the corner on this pandemic.
We must act with a sense of urgency and use every resource available at the Federal, State, and local levels to fight the spread of this disease.
we saw endless dysfunction and chaos as our country was left adrift by the absence of strong, competent Federal leadership
It’s just -- it’s in such plain evidence that you almost forget that it’s just incitement of the riot that happened and an attempt to stop the Democratic counting of this certified results.
Somebody trying to manipulate the Department of Justice which is supposed to be the independent legal watchdog for our country is just appalling.
this is just part and parcel of what Donald Trump was desperately trying to do, which was find any way he could to overturn the results of a fair and legal election in this country.
We are going up there with the intention of obtaining a conviction, which would make Donald Trump not just the first president to be impeached twice, which he is, but the first president to be convicted.
The facts are so appalling and so clear. I think that's why 27 senators are saying they really may consider convicting.
Donald Trump's the first president to have been impeached twice, but that's not enough. He needs to be convicted.
This man is dangerous. He has defied the Constitution. He's incited sedition, and he must be removed.
