Re: The actions of djT's supporters on Jan.6, 2021, while he was at the Capitol:
"I won’t ever forget it...
Standing on the House floor. Hearing shouts, pounding, breaking glass. Barricading the door and teaching my colleagues how to use their gas masks. Texting my staff, telling them to hide. I carried a rifle in Iraq; all I had to defend myself on January 6th was a pen. But I was ready to fight.
And after that day, Trump’s loyalists crawled right back to him. Witnessing them reject what they lived through, watching them ignore the testimony of the police officers that defended us that day while they were beaten, bloodied, pepper sprayed, cursed at … it makes me sick.
Kari Lake thinks the January Sixers are patriots who were “invited in” — she even campaigns with them.
I think anyone who supports those terrorists and traitors shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the U.S. Senate.
This race in Arizona is just me and her. It’s on us to stop her march to more power and influence. Whoever wins in Arizona is going to determine which party holds the Senate and could even decide whether Trump takes back the White House.
I need you with me, and I need you to take this race seriously.
