I was the last person off the floor on January 6. I came face to face with these people in the speakers gallery, I will tell you if you want me to describe what evil looks like, it`s looking into those faces, in those people, who -- while three police officers were in front of the door trying to protect us, they were smashing the windows open to get at people. The fact that somehow asking questions about trying to figure out why this happened, who is responsible, that somehow that is a bad thing -- give me a break.
