WisDems Chair Ben Wikler Statement on the Anniversary of 1/6
MADISON, Wis. — Today, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement marking the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol:
“Today, we mark the second anniversary of a horrific and devastating attack on our democracy and the rule of law. Incited by a defeated president desperate to cling to power, a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the counting of electoral votes and overturn a free and fair election.
“Accountability matters. As we mark this anniversary, we must recognize the many ways in which Republican politicians in Wisconsin and across the country contributed to the violence and destruction unleashed at the U.S. Capitol two years ago today. We’ve seen how fragile our democracy can be. Only with truth and political courage can we preserve our freedoms for future generations.”
