Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) on Thursday evening implied former President Donald Trump is a domestic enemy as she gave her closing statement at the January 6th committee’s eighth hearing:
I first sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. When I entered the U.S. Naval Academy at age 17, I spent two decades on ships at sea defending our nation from known and identifiable foreign enemies who sought to do us harm.
I never imagined that that enemy would come from within. I was not as prescient as Abraham Lincoln, who 23 years before the Civil War said, ‘If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and its finisher.’ Donald Trump was the author and we the people, for ourselves and our posterity should not let Donald Trump be the finisher.
Her closing statement came after about two-and-a-half hours of testimony, live and on video, of various White House staffers saying they believed that Trump needed to make a statement to his supporters to leave the Capitol on January 6 after some engaged in violence.
