Speaker Pelosi Addresses House on January 6 Anniversary

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) addresses the House during a brief Pro Forma Session, recalling the events of January 6, 2021, when supporters of then-President Trump stormed the Capitol and disrupted the Electoral Vote Count. "We remember that the insurrection sought not only to attack the building, but to undermine democracy itself," the speaker says of that day. Following her remarks, she led her colleagues in a moment of silence for those who lost their lives. Former Vice President Dick Cheney attended the session along with his daughter Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), who serves on the January 6 Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. close
