Shortly before 10 p.m. USCP Officer Brian Sicknick collapsed. Sicknick was sprayed in the face with chemical spray earlier that day while defending the Capitol. He passed away the next day; the DC medical examiner said two strokes were the cause of death. https://t.co/w93qWQRpTx — PolitiTweet.org

9:03 p.m., January 6th, 2021: the House resumes the process of certifying the election returns. https://t.co/rrHrI9KCIP — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Today I send my love to the Capitol Hill community and capital region. The aftershocks of trauma and heartbreak of January 6, 2021 are ever-present. Let us take care of each other, be unafraid to ask for help, and go forward together in the knowledge that none of us are alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

It is vital that the Senate take the actions that are necessary to enact these reforms. Protecting our elections is vastly more important than arcane rules and procedural precedents. My Senate colleagues must remember the crucial lesson of January 6th: democracy must prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The House has worked hard in the past year to help right these wrongs. We created a Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack. We passed bills to ensure that Americans can vote, and that their votes determine who leads this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Some Republicans spread worse lies about January 6th in months that followed, and most opposed a bipartisan commission to establish the truth. GOP state legislators wrote laws empowering state officials to overturn the will of the voters. GOP voter suppression laws proliferated. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

That night Republicans also took the floor to spread lies about the attack, hours after some of them helped incite the crowd. 139 House Republicans voted against certifying election results, including their leaders. They echoed the same Big Lie cherished by the insurrectionists. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's insurrectionists also failed because of our determination that democracy must prevail. Congress’ return to the House Chamber to finish certifying the election results ensured that the will of the people would win the day. It was a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

We remember USCP Officers Brian Sicknick and Howie Liebengood. We remember MPD Officers Jeffrey Smith, Kyle DeFreytag, and Gunther Hashida. We acknowledge the anguish their families still feel at their loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

They failed because of the courage of heroes in uniform, many of whom have not recovered from the significant injuries suffered that day. Some lost their lives. Today we remember the pain and suffering inflicted on those who defended the Capitol, and their incredible heroism. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Incited by the Big Lie of a lawless President bent on retaining power at any cost –a fact we know is true because the insurrectionists themselves repeatedly said it– they hoped to halt the peaceful transfer of power and overturn the results of an American election. They failed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The crowd that attacked the Capitol included white supremacists and violent rightwing paramilitary groups. They constructed a gallows, and called for the assassination of the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. — PolitiTweet.org

Side by side with the @CapitolPolice, @DCPoliceDept answered the call immediately to defend the Capitol, taking heavy casualties as their officers put themselves at risk to protect me and my colleagues, and our democracy. These officers have our undying thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

Hodges' fellow MPD Officer Michael Fanone was dragged out into the crowd, where he was tazed, beaten, and suffered a heart attack. Fanone, my constituent, later told me he believed in that moment that he would die. The clock on his body cam reads 3:19 pm. https://t.co/RerwcHkJuV — PolitiTweet.org
