I spoke with Senator Angus King (I-ME) last night about the attack on the Capitol and his views on how to ensure accountability for those who incited it, and not just the president.
He also told of his personal experiences at the Capitol on Jan. 6, including his reluctance to bunker with a horde of Senators and their staff, some of whom don’t like to follow Covid-19 health guidance.
The interview is in today’s Portland Press Herald and online.
Senator Susan Collins and Rep. Jared Golden have declined interview requests. For Rep. Chellie Pingree’s views on accountability, see this piece on the House resolution to investigate members of the sedition caucus.
