We have a responsibility, all of us, to remind people that our institutions don't defend themselves. We the people have to do that. We the people defend our institutions and Our institutions held on January 6 because there were brave men and women, including elected officials at every level of our government, who did their duty, who stood up for what was right, who resisted Donald Trump's efforts to pressure them to violate their oaths. And our institutions. Held, especially because of the bravery of the men and women in law enforcement and in our military, in our Capitol police, our secret service, the metropolitan Police, they are the ones who defended our capital, our democracy and our lives.
