Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) reflects on viral photo of him cleaning the Rotunda after violent Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, one year later.
Rep. Andy Kim thinks of the Capitol Rotunda as the “most beautiful room in the most beautiful building” in America and a “physical manifestation of our Constitution.” But when he found himself standing there on the evening of Jan. 6, 2021, just hours after a violent mob of insurrectionists had, in his words, “desecrated and disrespected” the historic monument, all he could think to do was drop to the ground and start to help clean it up. Photographs of Kim’s simple act of humility quickly went viral on social media. Now, a piece of Kim’s famous gesture will be featured in the Smithsonian’s exhibit that tells the story of the Jan. 6 insurrection. In this video, Kim reflects on how he personally contributed to the legacy of Jan. 6.
