Add Your Name: The January 6th insurrection was NOT "legitimate political discourse" – no matter what the GOP says.

This is outrageous: the Republican National Committee has called the deadly January 6th insurrection “legitimate political discourse.” [1]

This attack cost several people their lives and left many others seriously injured. It was a horrific attempt to overturn the votes of millions of Americans through violence and intimidation – and any efforts by Republican officials to downplay it are outright dangerous.

This isn’t just another political fight – it’s about upholding our nation’s bedrock principles. There is no room for ambiguity when it comes to an attack on the peaceful transfer of power, especially one that left people dead.

For too long, Republican officials have tried to minimize the insurrection. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) claimed that a federal investigation into the riot was “harassing peaceful patriots,” while Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) likened the invasion of the Capitol to a normal tourist visit. [2]

But this is a new low. And now more than ever, we need to make it known that We the People will not allow the GOP to rewrite history.
