Invite up the vice chair of the Democratic Caucus and a military veteran, Ted Lieu.
00:07
I want to thank former prosecutor and representative Eric Swalwell for
00:11
convening this important press conference. During National Police Week, we're here to
00:16
honor the police officers that defended our Capitol on January 6th against criminals who
00:22
assaulted the Capitol and assaulted law enforcement officers. We're honored to have
00:28
the law enforcement officers, some of them here joining us. And we're also here to
00:31
make the very obvious point that January 6th will never be forgotten. And why is
00:37
that? Because we have video of what happened. We have audio of what
00:41
happened. The January 6th commission did a great job interviewing all the
00:45
witnesses who were there. I was honored to serve as an impeachment manager under
00:49
the lead of Representative Raskin. And millions of people watch on live TV what
00:53
happened on January 6th. So no matter how many people Donald Trump pardons, he can
00:57
never erase this stain on his legacy and this stain in history. And in fact, the
01:03
people he pardoned, some of them went out to commit additional crimes. This is
01:07
yet a second stain on Donald Trump's legacy that would never be erased. And both of
01:12
these stains are going to get bigger as history goes on. And we're also calling
01:16
our Republicans to please put up this pack mandate by law to honor those who
01:21
protected us on January 6th. And my message to Republicans is, look, if you're not
01:26
gonna support police officers because the people who attack them happen to be your
01:31
supporters, then you really don't support police officers. You're just being
01:34
partisan hacks. Please don't be partisan hacks. Put up this plaque to honor the
01:40
January 6th law enforcement officers who protected this cap.
