Select Committee Chair: Jan. 6 Was ‘Attempted Coup’ to ‘Overthrow the Government’ – Violence Was ‘No Accident’
The House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack’s first primetime hearing began Thursday night with Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) telling the American people in no uncertain terms that the actions on that day were “the culmination of an attempted coup. A brazen attempt … to overthrow the government. The violence was no accident. It represents [Donald] Trump’s last stand.”
Watch:
Thompson: “Any legal jargon you hear about seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, all boils down to this: January 6 was the culmination of an attempted coup.” pic.twitter.com/YvKNIfQ8eo
