Sen. Lee Speaks on Counting Electoral Votes

Jan 6, 2021

Mr. President, at the time I prepared my remarks for today—it seems like a lifetime ago; a lot has changed in last few hours.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family members of those who have been injured or killed today. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the Capitol Hill Police who valiantly defended our building and our lives.
