  1. Michigan Democrat Rep. Dan Kildee tonight issued a strong condemnation of his Republican colleagues whose rhetoric helped foment the attack the US Capitol on Wednesday, saying their names should be remembered forever.
  2. This was "whipped up by politicians... the President of the United States himself and some of my colleagues who know better," said Kildee, speaking on CNN this morning.
  3. "Those members of Congress who supported this specious attack on the Electoral College vote will have their names permanently written in ink and everyone should know those names," said Kildee.
  4. "I will never look at my colleagues who voted for these challenges, who fueled this insanity... the same, and that includes some of my Michigan colleagues who I could not look in the eye today when we were huddled in a safe place," he said.
  5. "I hope we remember those names forever," he concluded.
