Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I came to Congress to make sure that no parent ever experienced the pain that I have. I came to Congress to fight for children who have practiced active shooter drills at the same time that they are simply learning how to read, for families who have lost loved ones to gun violence, and for communities that will never ever be the same.

Last Wednesday, Members of this body hid from insurrectionists behind barricades and locked doors. Staffers of this hallowed institution texted to their loved ones, ``They are banging on the doors outside. I love you.''

And citizens of this Nation watched in real time as rioters stormed the Capitol through shattered windows and broken glass. The result of the President's rhetoric has left five Americans dead.

Our response to anyone who seeks to overthrow the will of the people must be unwavering and resolute. I didn't come to Congress to do this. But President Trump's actions warrant his immediate removal from office.
