The January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was a direct assault on our democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. While revisionist narratives attempt to downplay or justify these actions, the facts clearly show a violent mob unlawfully breached the Capitol building with the intent to overturn the 2020 election results. Those who participated in this insurrection must face full accountability under the law, regardless of personal motivations or affiliations. Allowing this criminal behavior to go unpunished undermines the rule of law and erodes public trust. The path forward requires a steadfast commitment to truth, due process, and equal justice under the law for all those implicated in the January 6th events. Only by upholding these principles can faith in our system be restored and such an attack on American democracy be prevented from reoccurring.
