WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement marking five years since the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol.
“Five years ago today, Donald Trump sent violent insurrectionists to attack the U.S. Capitol and try to stop the certification of a free and fair election. Law and order won that day thanks to the bravery of the men and women of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies who responded. Many of those who participated in this deadly assault were convicted for their crimes,” said Senator Rosen. “Shamefully, one of the first actions Donald Trump took after returning to the White House was to pardon these violent criminals, including those who assaulted police officers. We cannot forget about what happened that day five years ago or allow extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress to rewrite history. I will always support law enforcement and oppose those who wish to do them harm.”
