Fostered by lies, mistruths, and partisan rage, the storming of the Capitol on January 6th was one of the darkest days in history for American Democracy. In fomenting the lie about the election and downplaying its aftermath, Rep. Scott Perry has embarrassed and dishonored his office and the people of Pennsylvania.
PERRY PUSHED THE BIG LIE BEFORE JANUARY 6th
Perry attended “Stop the Steal” rallies, worked to oust the acting attorney general, spread lies about the election, joined a lawsuit to invalidate millions of votes, and opposed certifying the election in PA — including his own reelection. Heck, he even wrote an op-ed attempting to justify his attack on democracy and gave a speech after the rioters had been expelled justifying the lie that led to the storming.
PERRY DOWNPLAYED JANUARY 6th, AMPLIFIED ELECTION LIES
Perry has continued to downplay the events of January 6th, saying no insurrectionist was armed and claiming the rioters posed no threat to the Vice President and members of Congress. Perry even claimed that the reporting around violence at the Capitol was “sensational reporting” that wasn’t accurate and voted against honoring law enforcement who protected him and his colleagues. The congressman has continued to argue the election wasn’t “conducted fairly or with fidelity” and pushed lies that have been proven to be false.
PERRY VOTED AGAINST INVESTIGATING JANUARY 6th MULTIPLE TIMES
Perry has voted multiple times against bipartisan investigations of the January 6th attacks. He argued that there was “no legislative solution” to attack on the Capitol, thus there was no need for an investigation.
