Official Statement on the Anniversary of January 6

Statement

Date: Jan. 6, 2022
Location: Washington, DC

"I condemn political violence, as I always have, including violence that took place on January 6, 2021. Any act or speech that impedes constructive debate on the important issues facing our nation is a waste. But the Democrats' and the media's one-sided and misleading narrative about the events, causes, and implications of that day are more detrimental to our republic than the day itself.

Thus far, the illegitimate Committee created by Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrats to ostensibly investigate the events of January 6, has done nothing but attack President Trump and his supporters.

A serious and legitimate inquiry would release the thousands of hours of security footage from inside the Capitol to show what happened that day. The Committee would be asking questions like, why was there a lack of training and equipment for law enforcement? What role did Speaker Pelosi play in preventing law enforcement from having adequate personnel and material to protect the Capitol? Did paid federal law enforcement agents provoke the riot?

Instead, they are attempting to paint a picture that every Republican, except Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, is a violent mobster; that questioning of an election or challenging certification -- as Democrats have done following the last 3 elections of Republican presidents -- is treasonous; or to believe that no election can be secure unless the constitutional system of elections in the United States is federalized and Democrats are given control over every mechanism of it.

There is no place for political violence in our society. But there's also no place for the Democrats' lies, cover ups, and witch hunts. Americans should ignore this group of unimpressive, hateful, Trump-hating loons." - Congressman Andy Biggs
