Remember what Republican leaders said before amnesia set in. I took notes that night:
Mitch McConnell (Jan6): "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people...They tried to disrupt our democracy, they failed…This failed insurrection.” THREAD

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Jan. 5 was democracy at its finest.
Jan. 6 showed democracy in peril.
Let me be clear: Insurrectionists did not and will never erase the voices of 2.3 million Georgians, a majority being voters of color, who exercised their power and delivered progress in the face of darkness.

BREAKING: A one-year-old child accidentally shoots their three-month-old sibling and mother at a Walmart in Texas after finding a gun concealed beneath the seat of the family vehicle. RT IF YOU THINK THIS MADNESS MUST BE STOPPED WITH NEW GUN LAWS!

In their own words…

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

In the midst of a pandemic, billionaires gained $1 TRILLION in wealth last year and will abuse loopholes to pay only a tiny fraction of their wealth in taxes.

We need a #WealthTax to invest in an economy that works for everyone, not only billionaires.

A year ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was telling Trump supporters to come to the Capitol on January 6th.

We must hold her accountable.

Illinois used to be known for kicking the can down the road, but today we’re restoring fiscal stability.

Paying back this loan ahead of schedule achieves a level of fiscal prudence not seen in our state for decades - saving millions of taxpayer dollars along the way.

These are their words from a year ago. Let’s not let them forget. If you know of other notable statements, reply below. END

Senator McConnell: “Former President Trump’s actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”

[Jeanne Sayner @jsayner]

@BarackObama Your words, honesty, and heart have always touched mine.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The most valuable tool we have to lower the costs of prescription drugs, child care, and health care for families is my Build Back Better Act.

It’s fully paid for, will not increase the deficit, and won’t raise the taxes by one penny for anyone making less than $400,000 a year.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

[Jeanne Sayner @jsayner]

@SenWarren I completely agree with you Senator Warren.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

About 70% of Americans want #RoeVWade to remain the law of the land, but this radical Supreme Court is ready to pitch it overboard next year. This should be a wake-up call for millions across the country. We need to rebalance the Supreme Court and protect abortion rights.

[Jeanne Sayner @jsayner]

@DanRather Agreed. We need answers and full disclosure of the events and what perpetrated them.

[Jeanne Sayner @jsayner]

@DanRather Agreed. Accurate US and world history and civics is sorely lacking in our public schools, especially in the south.

[Jeanne Sayner @jsayner]

@ProjectLincoln Trump is one gigantic embarrassment to our democracy.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

A consummate professional.
A calming presence amongst paid provocateurs.
A good man and a great journalist. He will be missed.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

It is a complete dereliction of duty that none of the major newspapers did a single story on the fact that the Trump White House put together a PowerPoint on how to end democracy.

Brian Williams’ final sign-off, after 28 years on NBC, is worth your time.
