This is the testimony that Republicans did not want the American people to hear. The Republicans who voted against the bipartisan, 9/11-style commission. The Republicans who condemned the select committee. Republicans did not want the American people to hear these words. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked by Rep. Cheney what he thinks when he hears Trump saying the Jan. 6 mob was a 'loving crowd', Sgt. Gonell responds: "It's a pathetic excuse for his behavior." "I'm still recovering from those 'hugs and kisses.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Hearing the statements of the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police officers, I hope members of the media who tried to describe the Kevin McCarthy moves last week in terms of winners and losers, or in terms of partisan advantage, think long and hard about their words. — PolitiTweet.org

Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn: "To the rioters, insurrectionists and the terrorists of that day: Democracy went on that night and still continues to exist this day." — PolitiTweet.org

Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn: "I want to take this moment and speak to my fellow officers about the emotions they're continuing to experience from the events of January 6. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional counseling." — PolitiTweet.org

Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges describes a member of the Jan. 6 mob: "Another shouted, 'do not attack us, we're not Black Lives Matter', as if political affiliation is how we determine when to use force." — PolitiTweet.org

Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges: "To my perpetual confusion, I saw the Thin Blue Line flag, a symbol of support for law enforcement, more than once, being carried by the terrorists as they ignored our commands and continued to attack us." — PolitiTweet.org

Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges describes the Jan. 6 mob as "transition[ing] from peaceful assembly to terrorism." "Another woman who was part of the mob of terrorists laying siege to the Capitol of the United States shouted 'traitors.'" — PolitiTweet.org

MPD's Michael Fanone: "What makes the struggle harder and more painful is to know so many of my fellow citizens, including so many of the people I risked my life to defend, are downplaying or outright denying what happened. I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them." — PolitiTweet.org

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone: "The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful." "Nothing, truly nothing has prepared me to address this elected members of our government who continue to deny the events of that day, and I doing so, betray their oath of office." — PolitiTweet.org

Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone: "I was electrocuted again and again and again with a taser. I'm sure I was screaming, but I don't think I could even hear my own voice." — PolitiTweet.org

Capitol Police sergeant Aquilino Gonell: "As an immigrant to the United States, I am especially proud to have defended the U.S. Constitution and our democracy on January 6." "This investigation is essential to our democracy, and I am deeply grateful to you for undertaking it." — PolitiTweet.org

Cap Police sergeant Aquilino Gonell: "There are some who expressed outrage when someone simply kneeled for social justice … Where are those same people expressing outrage to condemn the violent attack on law enforcement officers, the U.S. Capitol, and our American democracy?" — PolitiTweet.org

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Capitol Police sergeant Aquilino Gonell: "I, too, was being crushed by the rioters. I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself, 'this is how I'm going to die, trampled defending this entrance.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Capitol Police sergeant Aquilino Gonell: "On January 6, for the first time, I was more afraid working at the Capitol than during my entire Army deployment to Iraq. In Iraq, we expected armed violence, because we were in a war zone. But nothing … prepared me for … January 6." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney: "Do we hate our political adversaries more than we love our country and revere our Constitution?" "I pray that we all remember, our children are watching, as we carry out the solemn and sacred duty entrusted to us. They will know who stood for truth." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney: "We must … realize that the task of this committee will require persistence. We must issue and enforce subpoenas promptly. We must get to the objective truth. We must overcome the many efforts we are already seeing to cover up and obscure the facts." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney on Jan. 6: "We must … know what happened every minute of that day in the White House—every phone call, every conversation, every meeting leading up to, during and after the attack. Honorable men and women have an obligation to step forward." — PolitiTweet.org

Chairman Thompson: "We'll do our job now to make sure the peaceful transfer of power remains a pillar of our democracy. We cannot allow ourselves to be undone by liars and cheaters. This is the United States of America." — PolitiTweet.org

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Chairman Thompson: "All of it: for a vile, vile lie. Let's be clear. The rioters who tried to rob us of our democracy were propelled here by a lie. As Chairman of this Committee, I will not give that lie any fertile ground." — PolitiTweet.org

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1

Chairman Thompson to the witnesses: "For appearing here, and more importantly, for your heroism on January 6th, you have the gratitude of this committee and this country. You held the line that day, and I can't overstate what was on the line: our democracy. You held the line." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney to CBS: "It's not worthy of these offices that we hold. When you are elected to office, when you take the oath, your obligation and responsibility above all else is to protect the Constitution … putting politics ahead of that is, to me, a really dangerous sign." — PolitiTweet.org
