Top Democrats on Friday slammed "MAGA radicalism" on the second anniversary of the Capitol riot, accusing former President Donald Trump of continuing to"poison American democracy with his Big Lie."
Hundreds of pro-Trump supporters pushed past barricades and entered the Capitol building in an effort to disrupt the certification. In all, about 150 officers from the Capitol Police, the Metro Police Department, and other local agencies dispatched were injured in the melee that turned deadly. More than 900 people were arrested.
Rep. Suzan DelBene , the leader of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, agreed and said the threats that led to the Jan. 6 attack were intended to"destroy our democracy and undermine the will of voters across the country" and warned that those same threats continue to this day.
