“What we really need is our Republican colleagues to speak up. It’s time for them to acknowledge that this is a lie. This was promoted by the President even before the election happened. And continues to be promoted by the President. It led to the bloody, violent insurrection on January 6th.”
“The sad reality is these are people who believe that in order to win a Republican primary, they need to have the support of Donald Trump and they’re terrified to lose his support because they think that they’ll lose their primary. So they’re basically willing to forsake their responsibility to protect our democracy, to speak the truth, in order to hold on to their jobs. It’s shameful. And we need more Republicans to speak up and tell the truth.”

“The American people are entitled to know all of the circumstances surrounding the bloodiest attack on our democracy since the War of 1812 or on the Capitol. Liz Cheney, when she spoke the truth she was removed from her leadership of the party. She and Adam Kinzinger and others are causing some other Republicans to recognize that they need to speak up and put an end to this monstrous lie, which is undermining our democracy. By the way, while they’re doing all this, we’re busy passing the American Rescue Plan. We’re working on the American Jobs Plan. We’re responding to the urgent needs of the American people. They’re a mess, the Republican Party. But they’re doing real damage to our democracy by promoting and advancing the ongoing lies that Donald Trump began.”
