Our report recommended that the Capitol Police update its incident command system to establish communication priorities and contingency plans so officers are not left listening to radio silence and pleas for help.

When supporters of President Trump stormed the Capitol after his speech and after months of his false claims about the outcome of the election, we saw the results of that.

When the two incident commanders ended up in the middle of the violent insurrection, which was precipitated by President Trump and his false claims, they were unable--these commanders were unable to communicate.

Chaos is what you saw in Georgia when the former President or as you call him, the man from Mar-a-Lago when the former President literally went after election officials, Democrats, Republicans, you name it and put them at personal risk.

Chaos is people standing in garbage bags in homemade masks in the rain in Milwaukee, just waiting to vote or chaos is one voting drop off box in the middle of Harris County, Texas, with over five million people.

I do, and I chair the Rules Committee in the Senate and I had to listen to the arguments made by Republican senators, including that putting some basic Federal minimum standards in place so that people can vote safely how they choose…
