Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released the following statement in commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the January 6th, 2021, insurrection and attack on the U.S. Capitol. Schiff previously served as a member of the bipartisan United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.
“Today, there will be no organized objection to the results of a free and fair election by the sitting President, no mob that marches on the Capitol at the incitement of the President.
“Today, there will be no officers maced by rioters or crushed in the doors of this hallowed institution, no offices desecrated or windows smashed by insurrectionists.
“Today, there will be an orderly certification of the electoral vote, paving the way for the peaceful transfer of power.
“We can, must, and will do our part to ensure that the same is true in every election, regardless of whether one’s preferred candidate wins or loses. We must ensure that our democratic republic survives four years from now, forty years from now, and forever.
“We will carry on the cherished legacy of our Founders.”
