THN recently received a formal statement from 6th

THN recently received a formal statement from 6th form leaders of the Young Republicans Club Izzy Tabarrini ‘21 and Cooper Sugden ‘21 in an email from Tabarrini. It reads as follows:

“Though many members of our club and The Hill community are concerned about fraudulent activity in the recent presidential election, todays events were an inaccurate representation of what the Republican Party stands for. There is a clear difference between peaceful protests and the events that took place today at our nations capital. While we believe the protesters original intentions were to be patriotic, their actions did not reflect that. The actions were wrong, disrespectful, and un-American. We do feel as though our great country will prevail through these tough times as we have done so in the past. Americans are the most strong willed people in the world and will take this situation and grow from it, rather than divide our nation even more. May god bless these great states and may god keep the people affected by todays events especially Ashli Babbit who was shot and killed today.

Sincerely,
The YRC”

NEWS • “On Jan. 6, Trump supporters stormed and breached Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. in an attempt to prevent President Donald Trump from losing power as a result of his recently lost election. That violent and fatal event sparked national controversy and outrage, but a group that has a more complex reaction would be those who fought for democracy and freedom in this country: veterans. “

PHOTO ESSAY “My mother, Laurie Troop, traveled from Morgantown, Pa. to the Jan. 6 Trump rally at the Capitol building. After a three-hour drive, she arrived in the capital around 7:30 a.m. and then left around 4:30 p.m. to return to Pennsylvania and escape the freezing cold of D.C. She had comments about the storming of the Capitol building and the election.”

“It’s terrorism,” said President of the Youn

“It’s terrorism,” said President of the Young Democrats Club William Dollhopf ‘21 in a text. “It undermines our entire democracy. Police were more prepared for BLM protesters at a Target than armed ‘protestors’ at the Capitol building. Makes you think…” The Young Dems do not currently have any plans to meet. We have reached out the the Young Republicans for a comment but have received no response.

NEWS • We got the chance to speak with two leade

NEWS • We got the chance to speak with two leaders of the Young Democratic Socialist Club, Gavin Guerrette ’21 and Spencer Metz ’22, about their reaction to the storming of the Capitol as well as the “passive” reaction from the nation’s most powerful leaders. On a Zoom call, they condemned the “vigilante” activity and said they are “disgusted” and “ashamed” by the disrespect shown in what was supposed to be a “sacred space for American democracy.”

“We would like to make a resounding call to other political clubs to concede and stand on the side of democracy.” The club plans to release a formal statement later today and will be holding an open meeting as well.
