While U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delays the start of President Trump’s impeachment trial, I call on the U.S. Congress to pass a new bill that designates Jan. 6 as a new national holiday to celebrate our #realPatriots – the congressional staffers, Capitol police, Vice President Mike Pence, and others – who defended our democracy, freedom, and the Electoral College vote boxes against President Trump’s insurrection.
These #realPatriots deserve national recognition every year for saving our democracy. Recognizing and celebrating these #realPatriots can also help 100s of millions of our fellow Americans across our great country to start to see the tremendous victory we achieved on Jan. 6 against tyranny and dishonesty. The sooner we recognize and move past the amoral morass of inciting insurrection, the sooner we can start to heal, unite, and rebuild our country stronger, better and faster.
