Attacks by those inspired by the assault three weeks ago now. An attack even Donald Trumps former Defense Secretary now says was, quote, fomented by the former president. All of it in service to the big lie. Since january 6th, a lot of Members Of Congress are reporting, 32 Members Of Congress have now asked House Leadership for more protection. We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. A threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. What did you mean that the enemy is within in.
