that day cannot be ignored. he said great nautions face the truth. they face it, deal with it and move on. david? mary bruce, thank you. and as i mentioned at the top tonight, the only two republicans on the house floor today observing the magnitude of this day were congresswoman liz cheney and in an unexpected moment, her father, former vice president dick cheney, joining her. and what he told our jonathan karl. reporter: lawmakers gathered today to remember the attack on the capitol, but only two republicans showed up congresswoman liz cheney and her father, the former vice president, himself a longtime member of the house. they were front and center, surrounded by empty seats usually occupied by republicans, as the chamber paused for a moment of silence to honor the police officers attacked on that day. what are your thoughts on the fact that few other republicans showed up today? i think it s a reflection of where our party is.
