I am incredibly grateful to the public service that I've had in working hand in hand with police. Now, Congresswoman Harrell actually voted against prosecuting the folks who invaded our Capitol on January 6th. One of the first votes that [Congresswoman Harrell] took was to decertify the election after a bloody coup and insurrection that took the lives of five police officers. Vasquez, we're out of time here. Congresswoman, you have 30 seconds. Thank you. No one condones what happened on January 6th. I certainly didn't. And those who trespassed should be held accountable. (15:00–15:07)
