WASHINGTON – Marking three years since the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday likened that attack to two other seminal moments in American history: Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
“Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them, where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault,” Harris said at the Capitol, kicking off a day of events commemorating the Jan. 6 attack.
Harris said some dates in U.S. history "“occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11th, 2001. And January 6th, 2021. That is why our President is kneeling in the snow today where Gerorge Washington knelt!"
