What happened on January the 6th -- and thank you for recognizing I was there. It's still -- it's still incomprehensible to me that, that happened. That Americans incited by an American president attacked Americans, using our flag, using a Trump flag, beating other members -- they would have beaten any one of us, they would have killed any one of us. They would not have distinguished if I was a Republican or Democrat. They came to hang, to assassinate, to kill, to do violence.
