Showtime: Congress Members Hold 'Candlelight Vigil for Democracy' on Capitol Storming Anniversary

Members of Congress ended the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 storming of the United States Capitol with a candlelight vigil on the Capitol building’s front steps late Thursday.

The event, dubbed the “Candlelight Vigil for Democracy,” was organized in part by the group Shut Down DC, a group founded by “Antifa activists” who promised to “burn down the American plantation,” according to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO).

Prior to the event, Hawley called on Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to condemn the organizers and cancel their support for the candlelight vigil event.
