On January 6, 2021, Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, who was present inside the Capitol during the insurrection, shared his reflections on the somber day. Crow, a combat veteran with experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, emphasized the lasting impact of the traumatic events that unfolded during the insurrection.
Despite the gravity of the day, Crow expressed his belief that fellow Democrats would not challenge the certification of the 2024 presidential election results. He underscored the importance of upholding the rule of law, the Constitution, and the truth.
In response to whether any Democratic colleagues would object to certifying Donald Trump as president, Crow stated, “No, I don’t see that happening because we believe in reality and the truth. The truth is Donald Trump won the election, which was conducted safely and securely.”
Crow's remarks shed light on the enduring impact of the events of January 6, highlighting the need to uphold democratic principles and respect the outcome of elections. As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of the insurrection, Crow's perspective serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and adherence to democratic norms.
