Maloney Statement Marking One Year Since January 6th

Statement

Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) issued the following statement marking one year since the violent attempted-insurrection at the United States Capitol:

"Today, we mark one year since a violent mob attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The rioters desecrated the halls of Congress, traumatizing and endangering all those who work in the Capitol, including the many nonpartisan staff who were left to clean up the damage. As we mark this solemn occasion, we honor the sacrifice of the heroic officers who defended the Capitol and we must ensure it never occurs again.

"At least 140 officers were seriously injured while defending the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Officer Brian Sicknick was killed. Several officers have lost their lives since as a result of trauma from that day. We can best honor their sacrifice by speaking honestly about the events of January 6 and ensuring accountability for all involved.

"Our thoughts are with the families of those we lost as a result of the violence on January 6 and with all those who still suffer as a result of their injuries."
