"One year ago today, a dangerous mob of insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the results of our country's free and fair election. Though scarred by this terrible day, our democracy still stood.

Thanks to the heroism of the @CapitolPolice, the @DCPoliceDept, the National Guard, firefighters, paramedics, & other first responders from across the Washington area, including my home state of Maryland, the insurrection was thwarted & the American people's votes were affirmed.

Amid attempts to whitewash and obscure the truth of that day, it is more important than ever that the bipartisan @January6thCmte continue its vital work bringing the truth to Americans and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.

Those who attacked the Capitol on 1/6 were not themselves patriots; instead, they came face to face with true & honest patriots in the men & women who defended that building & those serving inside to ensure that our Constitution would not perish on that day or any day to follow."
