Happening now: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addresses reporters at the Capitol— opening remarks with quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Pope Paul VI, Pelosi says, “Justice is called for as we address the act of insurrection at the Capitol.” Image
“In just five days Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in as President and Vice President of the United States,” Pelosi says. “Following last week’s attack, there has been unprecedented mobilization,” of security on Capitol Hill, thanking Capitol Police and National Guard.
Pelosi, reflecting on last week’s Capitol attack, tells reporters, “We’re very passionate about our reactions, but we just need dispassionate in how we move forward in our decisions about security.” Says she was shaken seeing man in a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt in the Capitol.
Asked about the timing on transmitting the Article of Impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate, Pelosi points to the short proceedings in the House of Representative, noting it was only a week between the riots and Impeachment, “So urgent was the matter.”
Pelosi takes a question on reports that there are members of Congress who gave tours to the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol in the days before the riot, tells reporters, “If they aided and abetted the crime, there have to be steps taken beyond the Congress. “
Asked about the relatively small footprint of next week’s Biden-Harris Inauguration, Pelosi says “This was always going to be small,” citing the ongoing pandemic. “This is not a concession to the terrorists.”
Pelosi did not respond to questions from @mkraju on if she’s considering holding the Article of Impeachment indefinitely.

David Perdue’s final stop today is in Forsyth, Georgia, where people are waiting to hear the senior Senator speak in a local brewery.
David Perdue’s campaign event in Forsyth, GA is indoors, and there’s a temperature check and stack of masks by the door, but there’s only ten people by my count wearing masks in this room (two are reporters, and two are Perdue and his wife).
Tonights host, a Forsyth, Georgia Brewery owner, tells Senator David Perdue they’ve renamed their best selling beer “the Perdue Brew” just for tonight, “And the reason why is because it has a great head on its shoulders...and it’s got a really strong finish.”
