December 7th, 1941, September 11th, 2001, and January 6th, 2021,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Harris also said that January 6 indicated how fragile the American democracy truly is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Jan. 6, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful. The lawlessness. The violence. The chaos,\u201d Harris said from the Capitol building. \u201cWhat was at stake then, and now, is the right to have our future decided the way the Constitution prescribes it: By we, the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe violent assault that took place here, the very fact of how close we came to an election overturned, that reflects the fragility of democracy,\u201d Harris added.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Washington Examiner\u2019s Jerry Dunleavy observed that Harris\u2019s comparison was \u201cobviously\u201d baseless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRidiculous comparisons\u2026 The Capitol riot was bad, political violence is wrong, &amp; people are being prosecuted for it,\u201d Dunleavey tweeted. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t comparable to Pearl Harbor (2,403 sailors, soldiers, &amp; civilians killed by the Japanese Empire) nor comparable to 9\/11 (2,977 Americans &amp; others killed by Al-Qaeda).
