This is the speech I'll be giving today from an undisclosed location.

Violence and mob rule is wrong and un-American, and it will not bring about election reform.
Today’s mayhem sets back any intelligent debate for a generation. Just stop it.

Rep. Hal Rogers
Violence is never the answer.
As my staff and I safely shelter in place, I am appalled to see Americans storming the Capitol in an effort to disrupt our very foundation of democracy.
I believe every voice should be heard, but violent methods fall on deaf ears. (1/2)— Hal Rogers (@RepHalRogers) January 6, 2021
Rep. James Comer Jr.
The outrageous rioting and violence taking place at the Capitol Building is completely unacceptable and not who we are as a nation of law and order. Mob violence is wrong regardless of political affiliation.

Rep. John Yarmuth
My staff and I are safe and following the U.S. Capitol Police’s evacuation orders as large groups of Trump supporters are attempting to storm the Capitol and House buildings. This is not who we are as Americans.
