U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer said the angry mob of Trump supporters will not prevent the will of the voters who elected Joe Biden as president.
Kilmer, a Democrat who represents Washington's 6th District, issued the following statement Wednesday after a curfew went into effect in Washington, D.C. following a riot by pro-Trump supporters:
“Today I went to work to represent my constituents – to stand up for the will of the voters in our region and certify the Electoral College votes as presented to Congress.
"Sadly, with the encouragement of the President, a violent and lawless mob attempted to take over the United States Capitol.
"This is a dark day for our republic. This is not how our system works. We do not — and will not — get bullied by angry people who are on the losing side of an election.
"Let’s be clear – this will not get in the way of the will of the voters. Order will be restored, the American voters will be heard, and Joe Biden will be sworn in as President on January 20.”
