The 19th reached out to all 143 women in the 117th Congress to ask about their experiences. Twenty-three, all Democrats, shared their points of view, many remembering new details after a month of processing.https://bit.ly/3qjmg91

Some lawmakers recalled texting their loved ones goodbye while in the House chamber. Others remembered barricading themselves in offices, while several described running through the hallways toward safety, terrified that they'd be killed at every turn.https://bit.ly/3qjmg91

Lawmakers had been told to get to the Capitol by 9 a.m. on January 6 to certify the legitimate results of the 2020 election. @RepBarbaraLee: "I decided to wear tennis shoes that day, because I knew that something was going to go down." https://bit.ly/3qjmg91 pic.twitter.com/3l3jdfV6TY

Shortly after 1 p.m., VP Pence and senators joined House members in the House chamber to start a session to confirm election results. Then, each went to their separate chambers to debate challenges. @RepSpanberger: "All of a sudden, there was a rumble of tenseness in the room."pic.twitter.com/ClNT3PD43t

.@RepMarieNewman: "I started seeing rioters scale a wall around 1 or 2 p.m. It looked like a practiced military exercise; I saw some even had maps in their hands. I kept thinking the National Guard would show up in a jiffy, but they didn't."https://bit.ly/3qjmg91

The rioters broke into the Capitol about 2:15 p.m. Both chambers adjourned a few minutes later. @RepLawrence: "Soon after, we heard banging on the door. ... I thought 'Oh my God. Am I going to die today? Is this it? Am I going to die today?'" https://bit.ly/3qjmg91 pic.twitter.com/qpOkqKs0bs
