This was a premeditated coordinated violent assault on Congress of the United States and, of course, it`s pathetic that you`ve got members of Congress and people like Kevin McCarthy who are doing everything they can to sabotage real…

You mentioned in your testimony that there's some people who would prefer that all of this go away, that we not have an investigation, let's let bygones be bygones.

If we show a fraction of the courage and the valor that you all demonstrated on January 6th, then we will hold the line in this Committee.

I think that's why it's very important that you all take this Committee seriously and get to the bottom of why this happened, and let's make it never happen again.

Democracy. You were 40 feet away, 40 yards, whatever. Especially with the razor-thin margins of Democrats and Republicans...
