SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 16. 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — John Curtis says he’s spent the last week in somewhat of a grief cycle.
He says it started Jan 6., when a violent pro-Trump mob laid siege to the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., where Curtis — 3rd District Congressman and former Provo mayor — was preparing to certify the vote in the 2020 presidential election.
In this edition of Gephardt Daily’s Newsmaker Interviews, Curtis said the attack left him stunned and in a state of denial; the events, as they unfolded, were too surreal to fully comprehend. But as the hours passed and the implications grew, Curtis says denial slowly gave way to anger — and now, while he continues to process the event, he has questions he wants answered.
Also, in this edition of Gephardt Daily’s Newsmaker Interviews, an in-depth conversation on the extremist threats facing the U.S. with Seth Brysk, Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League. Hear why Brysk believes these homegrown terrorists are suddenly stepping from the shadows, and what Uncle Sam will need to do to comb them from his beard.
