On January 6, as Capitol workers shoveled a thin blanket of snow, members of Congress entered with no events comparable to the chaos of the preceding year. Heavy security surrounded the scene, distinct from the violent attack four years prior, emphasizing the contrast between the current subdued atmosphere and a morning marked by catastrophic upheaval.
The events of four years ago saw euphoric rioters storm the Capitol. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi labeled them a 'terrorist mob' as they left behind a scene of destruction where tragic violence was inflicted upon police officers and the building itself. This memory starkly contrasts with the quiet demeanor observed on January 6, absent of any dissent.
