Bennie Thompson actually said...

"We settle our differences at the ballot box."

"What this Committee, what all of us will do to fortify our democracy against coups, political violence, and campaigns to steal elections away from the people."

"You can't turn violent. You can't try to achieve your desired outcome through force or harassment or intimidation."

"the problem of politicians whipping up mob violence to destroy fair elections is the oldest domestic enemy of constitutional democracy in America."
