Donald Trump spent months inciting his base to believe that their election was stolen.

On January 6, President Trump left everyone in this Capitol for dead.

The public gloating in exploitation of the attack by our enemies, countries like Russia saying the attack proves democracy is over because look at the smoking hulk we`ve made of it here.

Donald Trump tried to overturn the election by any means necessary. He tried again and again to pressure and threaten election officials to overturn the election results.

After Donald Trump lost, he became even more desperate and incited his base even further.

On November 5th, he tweeted in all capital letters as if shouting commands, quote, stop the count! Stop the fraud! The same day as those tweets, around 100 Trump supporters showed up in front of a Maricopa County election center in…

On January 6th, Trump left everyone in the Capitol for dead.

Even when President Trump knew what his words were causing, he didn't do any of those things to stop the crowd. In fact, he did the opposite. He fueled the fire.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous man to ever occupy the Oval Office. Madam Speaker, I want to take you back 1 week ago today when people were barging through these doors and breaking the windows with weapons, armed, pipe bombs, coming…

It was not only a matter of President Trump's words, he told a big lie that the election was being stolen from him, that he won in a landslide.

It was a matter of words that incited other people's actions, but he also, in his own actions, took part in this by refusing to help.

If they were found to have assisted these folks who then committed an insurrection and stormed the Capitol, then they should not only be expelled from Congress but they should also face criminal charges for doing so.

If inciting a deadly insurrection is not enough to get a president impeached, then what is?

Thank you, Chairman.

The need to be a member of a political party in order to get a job, that is just the way things are.

The opposite of corruption is good governments, and good governments depends on having a good system.

This resolution is an important show of support from this committee to his family that we have not forgotten him.

His trial has been a farce and, clearly, politically motivated.

Around the world, we see democracy in retreat as authoritarians crack down on civil liberties and human rights.

Today I am here to discuss a proposed change to the rules package for the next Congress that would institutionalize the Tri-Caucus Witness Diversity Initiative.

I just introduced House Resolution 1150 which highlights this important issue and urges the government of Cote d'Ivoire, opposition leaders, and all citizens to respect the democratic principles, refrain from violence, and hold free and…

This man has acted incredibly recklessly and even for that alone he should be dismissed from his job.

The way that it was handled was very much what we would see in other countries with authoritarian rulers or nations that do not exactly follow the rule of law.

The pace is absolutely unacceptable. When we look back over more than a decade at the data... Latino representation is still limited.

I never saw a Latino or Latina portrayed as a member of Congress, which I am so privileged to be today.
