Three years ago, a violent mob stormed the Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. It was not just an attack on Congress, but on our fundamental freedom.
Today, we all must do our part to preserve American Democracy, which Lincoln called “the last best hope of earth.”

January 6th reminds us that our democratic institutions are only as strong as the courage and commitment of those entrusted with their care.
Three years later, the threat to our democracy is real, present, and urgent. Read my full op-ed in @TheAtlantic:t.co/RtTZ7Xl5B9

‘RNC Research’ shared a clip from ABC’s ‘This Week’ with host George Stephanopoulos. In the clip, Stephanopoulos asked U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), “You believe [Trump] is ineligible to be president?”
Stephanopoulos asked the question concerning Pelosi’s Atlantic op-ed published on January 5th. In which Pelosi wrote, “Having failed to overturn the election results in the courts or in Congress, the president had resorted to insurrection in the Capitol.” Pelosi’s comment referred to the “Stop the Steal” rally held in Washington, D.C., on January 6th, 2021. Events devolved, and some protesters breached the Capitol.
When confronted with a direct question, Pelosi muddled together some words and tried to deflect from giving a straightforward answer. She attempted to skirt her broadcasted Atlantic opinion piece and shared that it depends on what each state decides.
the irony is she is told the law says to support the consititution even as a former member and she is walking all over it
