WASHINGTON – U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi cited on Friday the open display of antisemitic symbols at the Capitol riots as part of the motivation for launching a formal review into last week's violence.
"So many disgusting images, but one figure of a man and a shirt with Auschwitz on it: 'Work equals freedom,'" Pelosi said in a press conference from the Capitol.
"In January one year ago, I had the privilege of bringing a delegation to Yad Vashem in Israel to join heads of state – I came as the head of this Congress – to observe the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau," Pelosi continued.
