All of my colleagues, all of them knew that what happened on January 6th was an assault on our constitution. They knew it at the time. Yet now they are defending the indefensible. Whether we tell the truth, get to the truth, and defend ourselves against it ever happening again is the moral test of our time. How we address January 6th is the moral test of our generation.
