Thompson issues warning three years after Capitol riot: ‘Our country is still in peril’
The former chair of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol issued a warning about the state of the country on the third anniversary of the riot.
“In the three years since the deadly January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, many of us have worked tirelessly to uncover and guard against the threats to American democracy that interrupted the peaceful transfer of power on that horrific day,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a Saturday press release. “However, our country is still in peril, and there is much more we must do to protect it.”
“Today, I reflect on the courage and sacrifices of law enforcement officers and other personnel who protect and preserve the Capitol,” Thompson continued. “They held the line when American democracy was under threat — and some sadly lost their lives.”
