Amo Statement on January 6th Attack and Joint Session to Count Electoral Votes

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Gabe Amo (RI-01) released the following statement:

“Today, I will join my colleagues in performing my responsibility to certify the 2024 presidential election,” said Congressman Gabe Amo. “For the many public servants who were merely doing their jobs four years ago on January 6, 2021 — when a violent mob attacked the Capitol and attempted to overturn a free and fair election — the scars remain fresh. We must never forget the over 140 heroic law enforcement officers injured and the families who lost loved ones on that fateful day.” 

“True patriotism means loving your country even when the results don’t go your way, which is why I will proudly carry out my constitutional duty today. I will continue to work to advance Rhode Island values and ensure all can thrive in our country. Whenever necessary, I will fight to hold the incoming Trump administration accountable and ensure they live up to our democratic ideals.”
