Former @DHSgov Secretaries @GovRidge, Chertoff, Napolitano & Johnson responding to the US Senates decision to not move forward with the January 6 commission

First on @nbcnews: Four former Homeland Security secretaries (Ridge, Chertoff, Napolitano & Johnson, who served D’s & R’s) slam today’s Senate vote blocking the creation of a bipartisan, independent Jan 6 commission as “deeply alarming.” Full statement here:

Likewise, we must understand how the violent insurrection at the Capitol came together to ensure that the peaceful transfer of power in our country is never threatened again. Our representatives owe this much to the American people.

The Department of Homeland Security, which all of us served, was created to protect our nation based on what was learned from the 9/11 commission.

During @goldmanschool's talk, former @DHSgov Sec Johnson argued that principal terrorist threat in U.S. is domestic - those who are racist, violent, & believe pres race was stolen. This group is now the opposition & their grievances will only worsen. bit.ly/3bIGi71

Former @DHSgov Sec Napolitano praised Def Sec Austin's exam of internal extremism. “I think...disunity that we are experiencing in our country emanates...from a lack of trust in our institutions...Restoring that trust helps restore unity.”youtube.com/watch?v=0ox3ZC… @GoldmanSchool

It took longer than I had hoped, but congratulations to @AliMayorkas who today was confirmed by the Senate to lead @DHSgov. The challenges he faces are many, but I know he’s up to the task, as are the men and women of DHS who work to keep us safe each day.
