House Democrat Takes Down Trump For Continually 'Lifting Up' Jan. 6 Rioters
HuffPost
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who was in the Capitol amid the riot, said lawmakers should've come forward to vote that Trump wouldn't "be able to serve again."
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) knocked former President Donald Trump’s “long history of complete disrespect” to the U.S. before taking aim at his treatment of Jan. 6 rioters.
In a recent interview with the MeidasTouch Network, the former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot told co-founder Ben Meiselas it’s “offensive” that Trump plays, at his rallies, a rendition of the national anthem by a group of his imprisoned supporters who call themselves the J6 Prison Choir. Trump has referred to those charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack as “hostages” and “patriots.”
“You continue to hear him lifting up the January 6th protesters,” Sherrill said of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

She added that people in her section weren’t able to evacuate and eventually barricaded the doors shut and got gas masks ready.
