Memorable Quotes:
"I said at the time January 6th was wrong. I called it an assault on law and order and an assault under democratic processes. So full stop it was wrong."
"Yes it happened. We have to move forward. But moving forward doesn't mean forgetting. But how we move forward is most important."
"Progress is being made. For us to deny that is the same as it was 50 years ago. 100 years ago is denying all the pain, emotional, physical, and spiritual."
