鈥淚t took me almost a week before it hit me. I was sitting in the office, the Monday after the insurrection 鈥�,鈥� Bush told me this week. 鈥淭his happened and I was sitting here, and my team was over there, and it all crashed down on me at one time. How easily it happened that day, and how easily it can happen again.鈥�

As the nation remembers that infamous day, a bipartisan House committee continues its collection of evidence pointing to a coup attempt led by former President Donald Trump. Bush, a Democrat, is still trying to rally support from her House colleagues for a resolution she filed just a few days after the attack on the U.S. Capitol that led to the death of five people, including a Capitol Police officer, and contributed to the suicides of four police officers in later months.

calls for the House Committee on Ethics to investigate whether any House members violated their oaths of office related to their actions leading up to and including the Jan. 6 insurrection, and to punish, and possibly expel, those who did. Bush believes that even as the Jan. 6 committee continues to subpoena some House members, and heads to a more public phase of its investigation, including televised hearings, it鈥檚 important for the House to police its own members for their role in falsely questioning the election results and encouraging the revolt.

鈥淥ne year later, things are not better,鈥� Bush says.

Indeed, in some ways the fuel that fed the conspiracy theorists who stormed the Capitol has become more abundant. Republicans are engaged in state-by-state attempts to suppress the future votes of Black, brown and indigenous voters, while also granting unprecedented partisan powers to state legislatures so they can overturn election results that don鈥檛 satisfy the most authoritarian elements of the new Trump-inspired version of the GOP.

How much have the Republican attacks on democracy intensified in the past year? On Monday, Trump of Hungarian strong-man Viktor Orban, whose authoritarian playbook has been adopted by many Republicans in this country. Democracy is under attack just as it was Jan. 6, and at its core, Bush says, is white supremacy, manifested in laws that seek to make it harder for people of color to participate in democracy.

鈥淏reaking down what happened with the insurrection and who was actually involved鈥� is very important, Bush says. 鈥淭his was a white supremacist attack related to our voting rights. We cannot forget this. We cannot allow it to be whitewashed, downplayed. We cannot allow revisionist history to happen. It was a racist attempt to invalidate our voices.鈥�

On Monday, the same day Bush and I spoke, Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to Democratic senators vowing a vote on Senate rules to bypass the filibuster, if necessary, to pass voting rights legislation that would protect the nation from the onslaught of changes in states sought by Republicans.

鈥淲e must ask ourselves: if the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, then how can we in good conscience allow for a situation in which the Republican Party can debate and pass voter suppression laws at the State level with only a simple majority vote, but not allow the United States Senate to do the same?鈥� Schumer wrote. 鈥淭he fight for the ballot is as old as the Republic. Over the coming weeks, the Senate will once again consider how to perfect this union and confront the historic challenges facing our democracy.鈥�

Without passage of voting rights legislation, the insurrectionists will win, Bush says. That can鈥檛 happen. It鈥檚 why this week, she adds her voice to those continuing to press for accountability of House members who helped light the match that sparked the insurrection, so that America doesn鈥檛 forget what really happened on Jan. 6.

鈥淲e have to make sure that we talk about it for what it was 鈥� an attack on our democracy,鈥� Bush says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 urgent and essential that we speak about it for what it was. It was a mass revolt.鈥�
