Democrat and progressive groups such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/henryrodgersdc\/status\/1479169205043879937\">Democratic National Committee<\/a> (DNC) and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eb454\/status\/1479134513762471936\">Everytown for Gun Safety<\/a> have also sent out fundraising emails on the riot\u2019s anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne year ago today, supporters of former President Trump stormed the U.S. capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the free and fair 2020 election. Incited by the \u2018big lie\u2019 and disinformation, the insurrectionists tried to overthrow our democracy,\u201d Schumer\u2019s fundraising email begins. \u201cFive people were killed and countless others injured. It was one of the darkest days in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DNC\u2019s fundraising message begins similarly: \u201cOne year ago today, our democracy was attacked. The will of the people was under assault, and our Constitution faced the gravest of threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the emails push for Democrats\u2019 overhaul of election laws that would federalize much of the U.S. election process, stripping authority from the states. Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eb454\/status\/1479147266543816708\">Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-VT) claimed in his latest fundraising email that \u201cour democracy is under severe attack\u201d from Republicans passing state-level election reforms designed to shore up voting processes after the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the truth is that the attack on our democracy goes far deeper than the violence of January 6, 2021,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cOur democracy is under attack from Republicans in Congress and in state legislatures across the country who are doing everything in their power to suppress the vote and make it harder for people of color and young people to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Democratic lawmakers and groups invoked January 6 to raise money, Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday likened the 2021 riot to tragic dates in U.S. history, such as the 9\/11 terror attacks in 2001 and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertain dates echo throughout history,\u201d Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/01\/06\/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-marking-one-year-since-the-january-6th-deadly-assault-on-the-u-s-capitol\/\">said<\/a> in remarks in Congress. \u201cIncluding dates that instantly remind all who have lived them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault. Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendar but a place in our collective memory. Dec. 7, 1941, Sept. 11, 2001, and Jan. 6, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris refrained from using January 6 as a fundraiser. She did use the opportunity to push the Biden agenda, however, calling for action on the Democrats\u2019 election reforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, in this very building, a decision will be made about whether we uphold the right to vote and ensure free and fair election[s],\u201d she said. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: We must pass the voting rights bills that are now before the Senate, and the American people must also do something more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot sit on the sidelines. We must unite in defense of our democracy in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our prosperity and posterity,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
