You are one of the members of the Select Committee that is going to be investigating the

January 6th riots.

Now, it's really interesting because in America itself there isn't an agreement on what

January 6th was.

You know, you have half the country that says no.

These were people protesting and maybe the protest got a little out of hand, but it was

just a protest.

And then the other half of the country says no, this was an insurrection where people

try to overthrow the government.

Donald Trump, who obviously so the seeds for what we experienced on January 6th.

However, there would be others who would argue that many people can plant seeds, you

know, we can't hold them accountable for the actions of an extreme few.

Because I mean, relatively, this was a small group of people, you know, it wasn't all

50 million of Trump supporters or people who voted for Donald Trump.
