Democrats pass resolution condemning Republican lawmaker for attending Jan. 6 rally [View all]

House Democrats adopted a resolution Thursday night to condemn Republican Rep. Chris Miller for attending a Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., which immediately preceded the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol building.

The resolution also condemned the lawmaker for displaying the insignia of an extremist militia group on his truck.

Miller, of Oakland, defended his presence at the Save America Rally where former President Donald Trump spoke, and Miller denied taking any part in the violent storming of the Capitol that followed the rally.

Miller said he was in lockdown with his wife, Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL), in a Capitol office building while the riots occurred until 8 p.m. that evening.
