"I commend both those Republicans and Democrats who joined with me last year to get the extra money for the Capitol Police."

"Their sacrifices should not be papered over by those who want to pretend nothing happened."

"I hope that we can all come together, both parties, to get appropriations bills through this year."

"I never thought I would see a day like that, a violent mob driven by the rhetoric and the lives of a disgraceful former President of the United States."
