Democrats Will Hold Solemn Jan 6 Anniversary While TFG Pity Party Rants About Election Fraud
Democrats will organize a somber commemoration on the first anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, while ex-President Donald Trump plans to hold a news conference that day to recycle the unsubstantiated claims about election fraud that caused the violence.
A press release by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed a very different approach to marking the attack than Trump, whose supporters—stoked by claims that the 2020 election was stolen—stormed the U.S. Capitol 12 months ago.
The House will not be in session in the first week of January, but Pelosi has said there would be a "full program of events" on January 6, 2022 to commemorate the day.
These would include a discussion among historians about what happened, the chance for lawmakers to share their reflections that day and a prayerful vigil in the evening.
