Tuberville Objects to Democrats' Attempts to Re-Write History About the January 6th Hoax

January 6, 2026 - WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) took to the Senate floor to object to Democrats' attempts to re-write history about the January 6th hoax. Over the past five years, Democrats have tried everything they can to blame the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 on Republicans when, in reality, it was Nancy Pelosi and Democrats who were responsible for the security failures that day.

"January 6th was my first day on the job here in the United States Senate. Come to think of it. It was first day of the year and started a huge disaster the next four years. I sat right over there. And again, it was my first time on the Senate floor.

One of the first things I heard from my Democrat colleagues after we returned to the floor that same night after being taken and hidden out for a few hours was this was the worst disaster and was even worse than Pearl Harbor. By the way, that was a real attack that killed 2,403 Americans. And I thought at that time, 'Are you kidding me? What are we talking about here?' Then almost immediately afterwards, those same Democrats that said this about Pearl Harbor, they came after all of us Republicans [and] said this January 6th attack was 'racist.' And, you know, I didn't understand that. Being my first day here, I thought, 'Wait a minute. I mean, I thought we're all in this together.' They know dang well this wasn't a 'racist' attack, but it was just something that they wanted to use. But they never miss an opportunity to paint somebody a racist, you know, when it comes to the Democrats. So, January 6th had nothing to do with racism.

Let's be clear what happened that day: Democrats and the deep state hate Donald Trump so much that they helped orchestrate a coup against our government. It's been looked at, vilified, and the information that we found today is just amazing.

And it first started with the tampering of the 2020 presidential election results to oust president Trump and to install a different type of government. As a result, great American patriots gathered in Washington to peacefully protest the illegal tampering of the election of 2020. When the leader of the Democratic Party at that time, Nancy Pelosi, and the deep state learned of Trump supporters coming to Washington, D.C., [...] they got an idea. Now, again, this has all been proven. They decided to infiltrate the crowd with Antifa and intelligence community members who would stir up trouble. The FBI has confirmed that there were 274 FBI agents in plainclothes in the Capitol here that day. Then they set up Capitol Police by failing and refusing President Trump's offer to bring in National Guard as back up. They turned it down.

I interact with the Capitol Hill police here every day. They're brave men and women who work tirelessly to help keep us all safe, but they were set up to fail by the Democrats that day. And then, of course, Democrats placed all the blame on President Trump and the Republicans for everything that happened that day and afterwards. They had the majority. Nancy Pelosi spearheaded the true insurrection that day. This has all been proven true and she even admitted responsibility for the massive security failures of that day.

But Democrats' plans to destroy President Trump and his supporters didn't end on January 6th 2021. For the next four years, Joe Biden and the Democrats did everything they could do-everything-to arrest, harass, bankrupt, de-platform, and kill President Trump. Not to mention the hundreds of innocent patriotic Americans who sat behind bars for the past five years over this made-up witch hunt. That is one of the most embarrassing things that I've seen since I've been here. Thankfully, most of them now have been released. You know, conveniently, the Biden DOJ neglected to investigate members of the intelligence community for their treasonous involvement in the events of January 6th. That was very convenient. As a matter of fact, they never brought the guy in who was in charge of Capitol Hill police for an interview. They never wanted to talk to him. [...]

Still today, Democrats are trying to rewrite the true events of that history. They keep mentioning all of these Capitol Police who supposedly died on January 6th. Now, don't get me wrong, we have brave people that work in this building, but this was made up and it continues to be made up.

The only person who died on January 6th was Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran who was shot that day in this building. Recently, Senate Democrats attempted-think about this-attempted to strip Ashley Babbitt of her military funeral honors. Now, why would they do that? Ashley Babbitt was wrongfully killed on January 6th, 2021. The federal government admitted it and they paid money to her family as part of a legal settlement. Interesting. Democrats, they don't care about the truth.

Today is a reminder that radical Democrats and the deep state, they don't like our country the way we run it too much, and they will do whatever it takes to try to make the Republican Party and President Trump look bad. Unfortunately for them, the American people aren't buying it. 77 million people came to the rescue of our country a year ago. [...] 77 million people. And that is why President Trump is back in the White House-and thank God he is.

So no, we don't need a resolution condemning the 'attack' on the Capitol on January 6th. In fact, the only thing we should be do doing is condemning Nancy Pelosi's role in setting up the government-orchestrated hoax of January 6th."
