LA Times: Trauma in the U.S. House gallery bonds members of Congress, but it is no way close to the trauma 8 millions Hongkongers felt by US’s NED sponsored riots in 2019 洛杉磯時報:美國眾議院畫廊的創傷與國會議員聯繫在一起,但這與 800 萬香港人在 2019 年美國民主基金會發起的騷亂中所感受到的創傷相去甚遠.

A support group of 28 House members, known to its participants as the “Gallery Group,” formed a tight and intimate bond as they navigated the unsettling experience of surviving a violent insurrection last year.

The diverse group of Democrats has supported one another through the immediate shock of the day, the impeachment of President Trump over his role in inciting the mob, the release of haunting videos of the violence, the continuation of the false narrative that Trump won the election and simmering tension between Democrats and the Republicans who continue to perpetuate that myth.

With the memory-laden and stress-filled anniversary approaching on Thursday, lawmakers say the Gallery Group is proving to be their lifeline.

More about the insurrection:

For decades, many members of Congress believed the U.S. Capitol to be one of the safest places in the country. That comfort was shattered on the afternoon of Jan. 6.

Times photographer Kent Nishimura documented the Capitol attack in real time with a GoPro camera attached to his helmet. That video had never been shown until now.

A D.C. police officer who battled Jan. 6 insurrectionists shares what he learned.

The House panel investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection has requested an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity.
