Jason,
Four years ago today, a joint session of Congress was disrupted by an attack on the Capitol. Alexandria and her colleagues sheltered in place for hours as rioters breached the House floor to try and overturn the 2020 election results.
Today, a joint session of Congress will confirm the same president that triggered that attack.
GOP leadership have worked overtime to downplay the scale and violence of the insurrection, spreading lies about who was responsible for the attack.
But the global rise of fascism hinges on disinformation and the erosion of trust in our democratic processes, and it's our responsibility to set the record straight.
President-elect Trump himself has shared outrageous conspiracy theories over 175 times on Truth Social to avoid accountability for January 6.1 Because of these lies, 25% of Americans — and 34% of Republicans — believe that the January 6th riot was an FBI set-up.2
But Alexandria will not stop fighting for accountability for those who incited the riot because we are not safe from fascism when people who hold positions of power are willing to endanger the lives of others to score political points.
If you're able to chip in to help us go toe-to-toe with right-wing Republicans who are still trying to spread lies about what happened, you can do so here.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
