Rep. Jim Banks:<\/p>\n
Again, I can't get past the lines in his speech when he told his supporters to go down to the Capitol and peacefully and patriotic patriotically make your voice heard.<\/p>\n
Now, Lisa, what I love about Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, is it's a place where you can go protest and make your voice heard, exercise your constitutional rights. And on that day, there were a lot of people who came to Washington, D.C., from my district, from all over the country who came to support a president who they supported. They felt like the election wasn't conducted in a proper way.<\/p>\n
I have those same concerns about the constitutionality of how the election was conducted and states who changed election laws because of COVID leading up to Election Day. And people were upset about it. And they came to Washington to register that.<\/p>\n
And that's a very that's very American for people to do that. There were people, on the other hand, who broke into the Capitol, who were violent, who attack Capitol Police officers, and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And the FBI has arrested hundreds of them, as they should.<\/p>\n
And they should be they should be held to a very high standard in the court of law.<\/p>\n
