No, the insurrection was the insurrection. The one that threatened Clyde's life and the lives of 100s of others. The one that resulted in damaged property and injured officers. Tell the families of the officers who died by suicide after the attack that it wasn't an insurrection.

Again, part of what is so astonishing about this rhetoric is that GOP House members were there. They were in danger, and they were safe because of the officers who braved serious injury to protect them. It's offensive to the people who protected us to suggest otherwise.

"Tourists" do not illegally enter a federal building and attack law enforcement officers with metal poles.

I wonder if Rep. Clyde has spoken to this D.C. police officer who told CBS News that he is still traumatized by the events of January 6.

There are lines that should not be crossed. Lying about an insurrection that injured hundreds, that directly and indirectly resulted in loss of life, that physically scarred the Capitol, that threatened the lives of lawmakers, members of the media and the VP, is one of them.

"Help is here and hope is on the way."

Biden punts on a q about how he can hope to overcome Republican opposition to Democratic priorities, saying they're "long-term problems."

"I think my Republican colleagues are going to have to determine whether they want to work together," or continue to "divide the country."

Schumer is at the Rules Committee hearing on S1 (For The People Act). He says the US was not a full democracy until Voting Rights Act, but now Republicans are trying to limit voting rights.

"There is a concerted nationwide effort to limit the right of American citizens to vote."

Schumer says bills introduced in Arizona to require notarization for mail ballots and prohibit same day/automatic registration are "despicable." Also condemns a Georgia bill to outlaw voting on Sundays, which could affect voter turnout efforts in black churches.

"I'd like to ask my Republican colleagues, why are you so afraid of democracy?" Schumer asks. "It is shameful our Republican politics are proposing these ideas in 2020."

He has repeatedly said "shame, shame, shame."
