DNC Statement Four Years After the January 6 Attack on Capitol

On the four-year anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison released the following statement:

“Four years ago, the world watched as Donald Trump directed a violent mob that stormed our Capitol, attacking law enforcement and threatening our democratic institutions. The peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy — especially when elections do not turn in our favor. Democrats remain steadfast in our support of the democratic values our country was founded on and will always work to ensure that our democratic processes and institutions continue to function in service of the American people, whether we win or lose.

“Today, we especially remember the 140 officers who were injured on January 6 and those who lost their lives due to the Capitol attack. We strongly reaffirm our commitment to supporting the law enforcement personnel who put their lives on the line every day to keep our democratic institutions safe and call on all those serving in our highest offices to make clear this kind of violent attack on our democracy can never happen again.”
