AMERICAN LEADERS DENOUNCE
JANUARY 6TH
SENATE MINORITY LEADER
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL
“January 6th was a disgrace... American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like... Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President... They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth — because he was angry he’d lost an election.”
REPUBLICAN, SC
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM
“When it comes to accountability, the President needs to understand that his actions were the problem, not the solution, that the rally yesterday was unseemly, it got out of hand... I said on the floor of the Senate, I cast my vote accordingly, that Joe Biden is the legitimate president-elect of the United States.”
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER
REP. KEVIN MCCARTHY
“Let me be clear: Last week’s violent attack on the Capitol was undemocratic, un-American and criminal…And make no mistake: Those who are responsible for Wednesday’s chaos will be brought to justice…The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.”
