United States Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) issued the following statement on “Violence at US Capitol,” January 6, 2021.

Today, the symbolic foundation of our country was attacked by violent and destructive actions.

I strongly condemn this reprehensible behavior and call for all violence to cease immediately. Everyone who illegally breached US Capitol grounds should be held fully accountable for their lawlessness.

In a free society, we must debate our differences peacefully and through legal channels, just as was taking place on the floor of the House — never resorting to threats of violence.

I am deeply grateful to the men and women of law enforcement who protect the U.S. Capitol and kept us safe from danger.
