Madam Speaker, let me be clear, last week's violent attack on the Capitol was undemocratic, un-American and criminal. Violence is never a legitimate form of protest. Freedom of speech and assembly under the constitution is rooted in non-violence. Yet the violent mob that descended upon this body was neither peaceful nor democratic. It acted to disrupt Congress's constitutional responsibility.

It was also an attack on the people who work in this institution, members, staff, and the hundreds who work behind the scenes so that we can serve the American people. The greatest statesman in the history of our country understood that the most dangerous threat to freedom is lawlessness. A young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln famously said, "There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law." Yet for several hours last week, mob law tried to interfere with constitutional law.

Some say the riots were caused by Antifa. There was absolutely no evidence of that. And conservatives should be the first to say so. Conservatives also know that the only thing that stops mob violence is to meet it with force rooted in justice and backed by moral courage. ...

The President bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump, accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest and ensure President elect Biden is able to successfully begin his term. The President's immediate action also deserves congressional action, which is why I think a fact finding commission and a censure resolution would be prudent.

isn't it? No sense of loyalty, despite the many years of service in Congress on Liz's part.

I'd say that this is the beginning the drifting apart of the republican party. One part will be the actual 'Law and Order' party, long established within the republican party since day 1.

And of course, the remaining half of the rest of the so-called republican party, those that support a traitor, a crook, and an incompetent a&&. All will be proven in time. History has a way of righting wrongs and doing what's right. Unfortunately to a lot of us, history takes way too long.
