The suggestion of compensating the January 6th rioters is deeply concerning and sends the wrong message about accountability for unlawful actions that threatened democracy. Those who stormed the Capitol and engaged in violence and destruction must face consequences through the legal system, not rewards. Providing any form of compensation would only embolden extremist ideologies and undermine the rule of law. As representatives, you have a duty to uphold the Constitution and democratic principles, which were clearly violated on that day. I urge you to firmly reject any proposals involving compensation for the rioters and instead focus efforts on protecting democratic institutions and processes.
