january 6th insurrection is alarming because we have to prevent this from happening again. i worked on capitol hill prior to the insurrection, and i worked on capitol hill now, and for me it is just so completely different. things have changed so drastically, and i think that alone is the premise for the importance of passing this commission or introducing this commission. as you know, this does reach beyond house staffers and senate staffers. i think of all of those cafeteria workers in the basement cafeteria and on the senate side and in the bottom of the capitol. there s all sorts of places where i know they felt threatened. they felt their lives threatened that day, and they didn t have access to televisions to find out clear, quick information about exactly what is happening in that situation. i know that they very much want an investigation to make sure this could never happen again.
