Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton said on Monday morning that Congress is "afraid of its shadow" after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as she panned the idea of a permanent fence or military presence around Capitol Hill.
Norton, the Democratic non-voting congressional delegate for Washington, D.C., made the comments in an interview on WMAL's "Mornings on the Mall" radio show. She highlighted the fact there was no effort to breach the Capitol on March 4 despite warnings of a potential attack by QAnon conspiracy theorists that day.
"As you may have heard on March the 4th, the House left early because of a threat for March 4. You will note that nothing happened on March 4. Now we have a Congress afraid of its shadow," she said.
