In his comments, Cruz said the events that occurred on January 6, 2021 was a “violent terrorist attack on the Capitol.”

Vice President Kamala Harris (D) also equated the events of January 6, 2021 to terrorist attacks as well, comparing the event to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York.

“Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them — where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault,” said during remarks at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday. “Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11th, 2001. And January 6th, 2021.”
