Pelosi: Impact of Capitol Hill Riot on Democracy and Those Who Work at the Capitol, That’s Almost Unforgivable

‘This building had not been invaded except by the British in the war of 1812’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Difference in resolve, that it is vulnerable, which we never thought, and that we have to lift up its protection. This building had not been invaded except by the British in the War of 1812, and now by the instigation of the President of the United States for insurrection onto the Capitol. That’s what makes it so tragic. Physical things don’t mean as much to me. They are symbols. But the impact on democracy, the impact on the people who work here, that is — it's almost unforgivable."
