[@neneshubby]

For just a moment we were not Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, progressives or independents, we were just Americans.

[@OGMaverickGaming]

We were horrified pissed off Americans, frankly I'm stilled pissed about it

[@petisahgitu]

and now, your kids sing "free free plestine"

[@stephengregory1655]

That's the most unity I have ever seen in congress. Terribly tragic that we can only get that when our home land is under attack

[@xenofonteinteragro]

January 6. 2021 was a horrific domestic terrorist attack on our country. We will never see this unity again.

[@verenigdkoninkrijk]

Read the AE911 truth reports. It was an inside job. Science has proven that

[@Joshua-Samarita]

@@xenofonteinteragro and what happened throughout the summer of 2020 isn't a domestic terrorist attack?

[@xenofonteinteragro]

@@Joshua-Samarita Absolutely it was. It was an attack from the proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys, White racists and institutionally racist police who hunted down Black people and peaceful protestors who watched a dirty cop and three cowardly cops do Jack while a police officer knelt on the George Floyd’s neck and murdered him in cold blood. January 6th insurrection was an attack led by trump of cowardly White racist republicans who tried to take away our Democracy and were incited to do so by the biggest most ignorant man of all, the puny Donald j trump.And were looking to hang Mike pence and shoot Pelosi. The attacks of the summer of 2020 were made up of the same deplorable led by the same dolt.

nearly twenty one years later, i still get tears in my eyes when they break out in song. the finest moment of unity this country has ever seen.

[@billbombshiggy9254]

Me too. I remember I was like 17 when this happened, and I was glued to the tv, and I actually cried on this. And here I am, tearing up again. I miss this level of unity. I had no idea that I had just witnessed something truly spectacular. I don't see us ever doing this again.

[@christiansotelo55]

​@@billbombshiggy9254I feel like the next thing that could possibly happen wouldn't have the ability to do this type of shoulder to shoulder type event because of everything going on in the world today. We'd only have 30 minutes or so and then that'd be it.

It's weird how time plays tricks with your memory. I remember watching this scene the night of 9/11, but I would have sworn they sang the entire song, not just what is recorded here.

[@reydegato]

They did. I remember talking with someone about how the pitch changed during the song because not everyone remembered it.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I also remember George Bush being in the scene.

[@thdremily]

Could you imagine anything like this happening today? The Congress breaking into song? Ridiculous to even consider.

[@JimInTally]

The Japanese thought much the same thing, that we wouldn't respond so strongly, and lived to see how wrong they were.

[@BenFoldsFan421]

19 years and a hell of a lot of drama later… And it still gives me chills and I turn into a big sniffling pile of emotion from the singing part onward I wish we could have that sort of unity again… But it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be a thing anytime soon. I suppose it’s easier to come together when we have an enemy that is an outsider for lack of a better word… It must be much more difficult to address the contentious among our own country…. It’s easy to focus whatever emotions on the outsider that it is to focus on us I hope I making sense

[@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697]

Unity like this won’t happen as long as folks continue to allow whatever political party they belong to, to think for them.

[@jaybru5399]

​@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697 it was always the way it is now. Rs vs Ds one side always blaming the other. But in 2001/2002 there was only one party

[@evanshall]

I remember watching this live. It sure was nice to be united for once.

The most impressive thing was that the first voices raised in song, came not from the front and center, but from an unexpected spot, but from the heart, and pointed the way for all to follow. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸

This may sound crass, but God I miss this. We were so united. If you had told me back then, that this is where we would be with each other in 2023, I'd never have believed you My Gen Z son and Gen Z brothers in law had no idea that this part had happened and were absolutely blown away that Democrats and Republicans stood side by side and sang a pro America song. It absolutely blew them away. It was unthinkable to them.

[@christiansotelo55]

I completely agree with you there - if you were to tell us on September 10th, 2001 that we would have this sort of thing where all Americans come together, you'd be laughed at for even saying it out loud.

Why are MAGAts so afraid to think for themselves? Why do you allow “the party” and the representatives to dictate your thoughts, words and actions? I was at home on Jan 6, 2021. I was sitting there, watching folks commit felonies, because using a police shield to break a window at the capital is destruction of federal property, which is a felony, which means years in prison. I am not one of those who have been arrested, tried in court, CONVICTED and I’m not going to be in prison for the next 4-20 years. And because I’m not going to be in prison when 2024 arrives, I’ll be able to vote. Because those in prison, can’t vote. Do you really think, if biden had lost: he’d still be having a temper tantrum over it? he’d be blaming someone else for “being a coward”? He would have filed 60+ lawsuits that were dismissed, because THERE’S NO PROOF THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN? He’d be encouraging his most ardent followers to, still, two years later, be angry? No? All that was done by a GOP? Ok, thought so.

Morgan Stanley was one of the fortunate companies on 9/11 they had a good security team in the South tower that morning on 9/11 and on the morning on 9/11 Rick Rescorla decided let the employees escape to safety even thought the Port Authority told him not to which saved the lives of almost all of the company that day even though he could just have saved himself or kept workers in the workers in their offices like other bosses on 9/11 which claimed lives for workers in other companies in the Twin towers which then could have doubled the death told for 9/11.

[@dayannacrider6626]

he said when those suspicions are justified... not proven true.....we will act

[@jacksyoutubechannel4045]

One of the definitions of "justified" is "having been proven correct." I understand the confusion, because it certainly has more baggage today (a connotation of "finding an excuse"), but its use to mean "having been proven correct" is common religious vernacular that I would expect someone of his age representing Midwestern republicans to have in their vocabulary.
