Rep. Bennie G. Thompson , who chaired the former House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, criticized former president Donald Trump on Thursday for returning to Capitol Hill for the first time since the riot. “After inciting a deadly insurrection that defiled the halls of Congress, how dare Trump show his face on these grounds?” Thompson said in a statement released by President Biden’s reelection campaign.
” Trump was set to meet with House and Senate Republicans at locations steps away from the Capitol. In his comeback campaign, Trump has continued to deny his 2020 reelection loss and promised pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. Thompson said Trump “still presents the same dire threat to our democracy that he did three years ago.” Trump has regained support from some fellow Republicans who broke with him after the riot, most notably Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell .
