Steve Cohen (D-TN) likened the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, during which more than 2,000 U.S. soldiers were killed and the country was dragged into World War II.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJanuary 6th is a day like that,\u201d Cohen said during a Wednesday interview with&nbsp;CNN host&nbsp;Chris Cuomo. \u201cIt\u2019s a day that should be remembered in America because our democracy was at stake. It was under attack as much as Pearl Harbor was an attack on our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an attack on the United States Constitution,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey wanted to upset the Electoral College and to make Donald Trump the president, to eliminate people that stood in his way, which included his vice president, which included the speaker of the House, and they wanted to intimidate the Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen [Trump] said you won\u2019t have a country, he was saying the blacks, the Jews, the minorities, the gays, they\u2019re going to be in charge, and you, the white, straight evangelicals here with me today, your country will not be yours. You will not have a country,\u201d Cohen later added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was basically telling them to go take your country back from the blacks, the Jews, the gays, the different people that they do not like. And that was a call from Trump, and it was racist as it could be. And he was involved, in my opinion, with all these folks, Roger Stone was, the whole team was, and they were trying to take over. He doesn\u2019t give up. He didn\u2019t give up. He didn\u2019t want to give up power. He liked being president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>The attack on Pearl Harbor, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/history\/pdf\/pearl-harbor-fact-sheet-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National World War II Museum<\/a>, was devastating:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p><em>The attack killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 U.S. Navy ships, including 8 battleships. The three aircraft carriers of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were out to sea on maneuvers. The Japanese were unable to locate them and were forced to return home with the U.S. carrier fleet intact.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Five people died during incidents related to the Capitol riot, including Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer. One of the other deaths was ruled an accident and the other two were natural, according to the medical examiner.<\/p>\n<p>The medical examiner has yet to determine what killed U.S.&nbsp;Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died a day after being attacked with chemical spray during the riot.<\/p>\n<p>After the Capitol complex had been secured and Congress reconvened on Jan. 6, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also compared the riot to Pearl Harbor.
