“Last week, we saw an unprecedented assault on our democracy. It was unlike anything we have witnessed in the 244-year history of our nation, a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, itself, on the people's representatives, on police officers who every day risk their lives to protect them, and on fellow citizens who serve as public servants in that Citadel of liberty. This criminal attack, he says, was planned and coordinated. It was carried out by political extremists and domestic terrorists who were incited to this violence by President Trump. It was an armed insurrection against the U.S. -- against the United States. And those responsible must be held accountable.”
