'I did not know if the door was locked': Sen. Patty Murray relives hiding in her office while mob pounded outside

(CNN)Democratic Sen. Patty Murray hid just "inches away" as violent rioters descended upon the US Capitol on January 6, pounding on the door to the office where she sheltered in place with her husband.

"It wasn't long before I heard explosions," the Washington senator told PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff in an interview Friday. "I heard yelling, and all of a sudden they were in the hallway outside my door. I was inches away, alone with my husband, who was with me at the time, and we were really frightened."

"They were pounding on our door and trying to open it. And my husband sat with his foot against the door, praying that it would not break in," said Murray, who was emotional and visibly shaken as she recounted her experience that day.

"I was not safe. It was a horrific feeling, and it lasted for a long time."

2. My letter to Sen Murray

Hello Senator Murray,

I wanted to say how awful I feel about your hours hiding from tRumps goons in your office. Americans were watching it all live but you lived it and it must have been terrible. Thank goodness your husband was by your side. I would have wanted that for myself had I been in your shoes.

Speak up more please because it will help. Plead with your stubborn colleagues who are voting to aquitt. Their minds need to be changed. Senators understand one another. Please do ALL YOU CAN TO CHANGE HEARTS AND MINDS!
You have the ability to talk to them and I ask you to tirelessly use your voice to change minds.

Thank you for your time!
