Thousands of Americans took to the streets of Washington, D.C., today to march for integrity, transparency, and accountability in our elections. They believe that their national and state democratic institutions have failed them. They are right. (/1)
Rather than respecting and responding to appeals made by millions of concerned citizens for an independent audit of the vote, government officials instead turned a deaf ear to their cries and refused to take any meaningful steps to restore confidence in our elections. (/2)
For months, Americans watched in dismay as elected leaders initially ignored their pleas; then made excuses; and now claim the hour is too late, the time is lost. Meanwhile, the media label them conspiracy theorists and undemocratic. They are fed up, and understandably so. (/3)
As protesters-turned-rioters illegally stormed the U.S. Capitol this afternoon, one peaceful protesters in the street muttered: “This is getting out of control,” to which another loudly responded: “And is exactly what happens when you treat Americans like bulls***.” (/4)
Those who incite violence and sow chaos have no home in the Republican Party. These attitudes and actions are antithetical to our Party’s core principles and values, and stand in direct conflict with our nation’s Judeo-Christian beliefs and moral foundation. (/5) 
The individuals who acted criminally and outside the confines of the law today must be prosecuted and punished. On the flip side, those who wish to exploit the terrible actions of a few to smear and vilify the peaceful actions of the many to cause division should be ignored. (/6)
America is better than this — it has to be. A government that does not serve the People will not succeed. There is a great political revival happening in America and all elected leaders would be wise to recognize it and accept it, without enmity. Lead with love and respect. (7/7)
