Mike Rogers (R-AL) said, \u201cThe fence is one of the ways they justify continuing to talk about January 6. Is there still some threat? They\u2019ve got us walking through magnetometers. Members of Congress are no threat to each other, but they want to keep the focus on what happened on January 6. And then somehow Trump is still a problem out there that Americans are concerned about.
