The attack we saw had a purpose.

Stop the certification.

Stop our democratic process.

Fortunately, they did not prevail.

We showed you that the intersections were deliberate, that they came looking for Vice President Pence and Speaker Pelosi ready to kill when President Trump incited a lawless mob toe attack.

Our process.

He was attacking our democracy, who was trying to become king and rule over us against the will of the people and the valid results of the election.

What if President Trump had been successful?

What if he had succeeded in overturning the will of the people in our constitutional processes?

Who among us is willing to risk that outcome by letting Trump's constitutional crimes go unanswered?

The founders included impeachment in our constitution, not as a punishment but to prevent.

We have to prevent every president today, tomorrow or any time in the future from believing that this conduct is acceptable.

Today we have to stand up for our democracy and ensure we remain a country governed by the people for the people.
