Rep. Barry Moore Condemns Violence in U.S. Capitol, Encourages Peaceful Transition of Power
‘I trust in Christ’s faithfulness and His guidance in both this chamber and in our nation.’
“Wednesday was a dark day for our nation and I emphatically condemn yesterday’s tragic events. This building belongs to the people, who - without question - deserve to be heard, but what we saw yesterday was a disgrace to the principles we have long embraced. I will not be intimidated by lawlessness, nor allow acts of violence to stop me from upholding the Constitution and doing the job my constituents sent me here to do.
“I am incredibly grateful to the Capitol Police, National Guard, FBI, and Secret Service. These brave men and women risk their lives every day and are real heroes. It is because of them that we were able to reconvene and fulfill our Constitutional duties.
“I trust in Christ’s faithfulness and His guidance in both this chamber and in our nation. I trust in our Constitution and its checks and balances against tyrannical government. As President Trump conveyed last night, ‘there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.’ While I disagree with the outcome, we must ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power. I will remain vigilant and will continue to promote our conservative ideals and defend the voices of the people I represent. There is a long and difficult road ahead, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Alabama’s Second Congressional District. May God be with us and heal our nation.”
