"Obviously there was a huge difference between this Jan. 6 and the other Jan. 6 ... We hope that'll be a good example for years to come," said Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va).
House Administration Committee ranking member Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) said the public should "take note: This is how the peaceful transfer of power has happened for 250 years." He emphasized that "the anomaly of the last four years cannot be repeated," adding that Democrats "respect the democratic institutions even when they're not in our favor."
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) emphasized the importance of their actions, stating, "We were acting as Constitutional patriots, and this is exactly what the peaceful transfer of power should look like."
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) noted that the cohesive messaging among Democrats did not emerge from leadership, saying, "Most of us are feeling the same way. We're all talking to each other, there's a lot of 'peaceful transfer,' and 'it's our job to make sure the American people see.'"
