PENNSYLVANIA – Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy Patton Mills released the following statement on today’s events in Washington, DC:
“This is a heartbreaking day for our whole country. Violent extremists, spurred onward by President Trump and his enablers, have attacked our sacred democracy and our Congress. We know this is not who we are, and we cannot allow this repugnant behavior to continue to infect our politics.
I am grateful that our Pennsylvania delegation and their staffs are safe and continue to do the people’s work. We have a great deal of work to do in the years ahead to restore our commitment to the truth, goodwill, and spirited but civil debate. Thankfully, we can look forward to the leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as we seek to restore the soul of our nation. We will not be deterred.”
