"I want people to be free. I want people to be able to be free to speak their minds, to worship, to live, to prosper. That's what we've been told our whole lives that's what our country stands for."
"My involvement in the Capitol riot was a mistake and I have learned a lot from the consequences of my actions and the events surrounding that day."
