Moolenaar Statement on the Violent Demonstrations at the U.S. Capitol

Statement

As this statement is being published, Congressman John Moolenaar and his staff are safe, and they are thankful for the support of all the people who have asked how they are doing.

Congressman Moolenaar made the following statement regarding today's demonstrations:

"Today's violent and disgraceful demonstrations at the Capitol have no place in our society. The protesters who breached the Capitol today violated the rule of law and brought violence to a place where we have gathered for centuries to peacefully debate the issues facing our nation. This was a direct attack on the free society we are blessed to live in and all those who participated in unlawful activities should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

"I am thankful for the members of law enforcement who are doing everything they can to protect the Capitol and I ask all Americans to pray for peace in our country."
