                  AMERICA'S GREAT TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, yesterday, we had a Judiciary Committee 
meeting on the rise of white nationalism and the concerns it should 
pose to our country.
  It was a pertinent meeting, and I was shocked to hear some of the 
remarks of my colleagues on the Republican side who still have not 
accepted the fact that what happened on January 6 was an attack on our 
Constitution that they take an oath to and an attack on our country. 
They seem to think it was just a demonstration, a small, polite 
demonstration of 200 people; that it was, some said, people other than 
Trump people posing as Trump people.
  Those were Trump people. They wore Trump hats. They had Trump flags. 
They hollered ``Trump.'' They were there to stop the steal for Trump.
  America faced a great traumatic experience, as I did being in this 
Chamber on January 6, and I ask my Republican colleagues to accept it, 
accept the fact that it was a big lie, and Joe Biden is the properly, 
lawfully elected President of the United States.
