'Put on the gas mask' Lawmakers remember terror during Jan. 6 capitol riot

Many of us were still trapped in the House Gallery long after the floor was evacuated.

We must all remember the horror of January 6th and ensure that everyone who incited and participated in the violent insurrection is held fully accountable.

1 eg of many:

California Rep. Norma Torres:

“I really thought, we’re not going to be evacuated. We’re going to die here. And, you know, through that process — I think a lot about it now, (Democrats') plus three majority ... They could at any point take any three members either hostage or kill any three members, and that would have prevented us from certifying the election.”
