Bennie Thompson

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

We settle our differences at the ballot box.

The Honorable Bennie G. Thompson, a Representative in Congress From the State of Mississippi, and Chairman, Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol

It is time to speak the truth about these groups and the violent influence they wield.

Instead, the President of the United States sent the mob.

He lied to his supporters and the country.

The select committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol will be in order.

If you`ve heard this testimony today, and suddenly you remember things you couldn`t previously recall or there are some details you`d like to clarify, or you discovered some courage you had hidden away somewhere, our doors remain open.

Because of this courageous woman, and others like her, you attempt to hide the truth from the American people will fail.

Although, so much of grave importance happens in the West Wing of the White House, it`s a quite a small building.

Cybersecurity is a topic that Chairwoman Slotkin has championed since she came to Congress, and she has worked tirelessly to keep the people of Michigan safe from cyber crime.

I am pleased that Intelligence and Counterterrorism Subcommittee Chairwoman Slotkin is holding this hearing on such a pressing issue, in her district with her constituents.

The January 6th investigators have given us a resounding yes, on both of those.

The committee has a tip line. And that you can call in and let them know about any evidence you may have, that you think you want them to see.

We`ve taken in some additional information. That information is going to require additional review by staff and the committee that we did not have when we had initial planning for the committee.

He pressured the Justice Department to act as an arm of his reelection campaign.

Donald Trump lost in court dozens and dozens of times.

Those who say the election was affected by widespread voter fraud are lying.

Violence became the last option.

Find me the votes. Send fake electors. Just say the election was corrupt.

There was the scheme to get the former Vice President, Mike Pence, to violate the law and the Constitution.
