This is so astoundingly stupid. And that they would address the nation, and minimize the prior attacks so much. January 6th wasn't a great day, but was just a blip when you compare it to the attack on Pearl Harbor which killed 2,400+ Americans. Or the 9/11 terrorist attacks which killed over 2,600+.
4 people died on January 6th. Or as AOC counted: "almost 10 dead".
With respect to the 4 killed - that day was nothing to the amount lost on those former days. To put them in the same light is an embarrassment to the memory of over 5,000 killed, IMO.

Kamala Harris Compares January 6 Capitol Riot to Attacks That Killed Thousands at Pearl Harbor and on 9/11
Kamala Harris spoke at the Capitol Thursday morning along with Joe Biden to mark the anniversary of the January 6 riot that disrupted the effort by President Trump and Republicans in Congress to lawfully challenge the certification of the votes of several states in the Electoral College. Harris opened her remarks comparing the Capitol riot that saw one person killed (by law enforcement) and a handful of deaths by natural causes (one of these deaths is now being looked at as being from a police beating) to the attacks at Pearl Harbor and on 9/11 that killed thousands of Americans.
Excerpt from Harris’ speech:
Fellow Americans, good morning.
Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them — where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault. Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11th, 2001. And January 6th, 2021.
On that day, I was not only Vice President-elect, I was also a United States senator. And I was here at the Capitol that morning, at a classified hearing with fellow members of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Hours later, the gates of the Capitol were breached.
I had left. But my thoughts immediately turned not only to my colleagues, but to my staff, who had been forced to seek refuge in our office, converting filing cabinets into barricades.
