Michigan Rep. Dan Kildee gives a look at the attack on the U.S. Capitol from inside the building as the insurrection unfolded.
On Jan. 6 last year, Rep. Dan Kildee was asked to defend the 2020 presidential election results from his home state of Michigan. Although there had been recounts, investigations and court cases, several Republican members of Congress were planning to object and refuse to certify results from key states that showed Joe Biden had overwhelmingly won.
Over the last several months, Kildee has been outspoken about the experience he had during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and what he has had to deal with since.
"This was one of the most traumatic things I’ve been through," he told ABC News.
The Michigan congressman said he started his day by prepping remarks in his office before heading across the street to the House of Representatives.
