Lieu says Trump doesn't show remorse, only shows 'defiance'
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., asserted that Trump failed to show remorse for how his behavior incited the riots. Lieu cited Trump's failure pay his respects to U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick who died during the assault on the Capitol.
"President Trump not only failed to show remorse or take accountability, he made clear he is just beginning. For days, he did not address the nation after this attack. We needed our commander-in-chief to lead, to unite a grieving country, to comfort us. But what did President Trump do?," Lieu said. "Nothing, silence."
Lieu says that enhanced protection around the Capitol is necessary because Trump has not admitted that he lost the election. Lieu argued that his lack of remorse is important as Trump will 'undoubtedly' cause future harm.

"He does not say the one sentence that would stop future political violence, 'the election was not stolen.' He still hasn't said that sentence" Lieu said. "That is why National Guard troops in full body armor still patrol outside."
