Today, Donald Trump said the insurrection took place on November 3. No, Mr. Trump. I am sorry. That is what we call an election in America; an election that was validated by more than 60 Federal or State courts, including before eight…

Yes. There were definitely more Republican votes than I was expecting given that Kevin McCarthy was whipping the vote very hard to try to get everybody, you know, on the side of not issuing the criminal contempt referral for Bannon.

We really did need to have a hearing about Kyle Rittenhouse and the two protesters that he shot and killed with his assault weapon.

Donald Trump has taken over the GOP and they have organized themselves literally around a lie, a lie that`s been rejected in 61 federal and state courts all the way up to the Supreme Court, a lie that was rejected by numerous election…

Today, Donald Trump said the insurrection took place on November 3rd. No, Mr. Trump, I’m sorry. That’s what we call an election. We know an insurrection when we see one, in this body, because we lived through one.

If you act deliberately with sneering cavalier contempt for the American people, we will hold you in contempt.

That was the whole purpose of this thing. And the GOP had 27 states, although I don`t think they would have gotten Wyoming`s Liz Cheney, who is the at-larger up there, but it still would have left them with 26 states in the majority.

You don`t knock over the U.S. Congress and disrupt Electoral College counting for the first time in American history by accident, and you don`t do it for free.

No, we won’t tolerate perpetual denial here.

Trump now tries to get his followers like Steve Bannon, not to testify here and not to turn over evidence that they have about this vicious assault on American democracy. In America when you are subpoenaed to testify in court, or in…

I am delighted to hear my friend from Louisiana speak in strong favor of the Equal Rights Amendment.

we are the lawmaking branch. We have the power over the amending process.

Right-wing violence is now a lethal threat to American democracy.

We know an insurrection when we see one in this body because we lived through one.

We are investigating the attack on Congress by domestic enemies of our Constitution because we are sworn to do so by our oath of office. In America, when you are subpoenaed to testify in court or in Congress, you show up, period. If you…

the President's role is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.

he hopes the Department of Justice will aggressively enforce the law, so people don't get away with committing crimes like this.

I think if they do their job, and I have confidence that Attorney General Garland will do his job, they will move for criminal prosecution of people who are openly flouting in order for the U.S. Congress to come and testify on an issue…

the Committee should aggressively enforce our right to get people's testimony and to get the documents we've subpoenaed, and there is no problem with that.

Steve Bannon committed a crime today. People have to understand that. Because it is important that people obey subpoenas they get whether from a court or from Congress. These are orders of law. You have to comply with them.

We expect anyone who is subpoenaed to comply with lawful orders.

this is a legal order as well as a civic duty to share info about the most sweeping violent attack on Congress since the war of 1812.

The people govern here, and no one is above the law, not a president, not a former president, not the political cronies of the former president.

I`m advising the deployment of the full panoply of enforcement powers at the disposal of the United States Congress. That includes criminal contempt powers, civil contempt power that people govern here, and no one is above the law, not a…

Donald Trump refuse to accept the results. And unfortunately, we have one of the world`s great political parties, which has followed him off of the ledge of this electoral lunacy. And it`s dangerous for democracy.
