PRESS RELEASE

PLASKETT REFLECTS ON SIGNIFICANCE OF VP HARRIS'S ELLIPSE SPEECH

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Plaskett released the following statement:

“Tomorrow, I have the privilege of joining Vice President Harris and the Harris-Walz team for VP Harris’s speech at the Ellipse in Washington, DC. The last time a government official gave a speech at this location was former President Trump’s address at a rally on January 6, 2021, just moments before what we now know as the January 6^th Insurrection.

“I felt it incredibly important to join VP Harris for this event, especially as I was the impeachment manager who was responsible for the fact analysis of what happened leading up to the attempted overthrow, along with the planning and execution of the attempted insurrection during former President Trump’s second impeachment.

“It is my hope that our country will remain true to its origin and reject the dangerous, autocratic, and sometimes threatening behaviors we have seen displayed by some in this same hallowed place. I look forward to the love, joy, hope and commitment to hard work that I know VP Harris will share during her address.”
