After a pipe bomb was discovered during the January 6 Capitol riot, Vice President Kamala Harris was evacuated from the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
According to The Washington Post, the bomb never went off and was found not far from the headquarters.
A person familiar with the matter told the Post Harris traveled to the offices to record video messages expressing her appreciation for those who supported President Joe Biden’s inaugural committee.
The source explained that Harris’ security team told her to evacuate because of the explosive found outside the offices, as the Post reports.
She was then brought to an undisclosed location.
As the outlet notes, a separate bomb was also found at the Republican National Committee. The FBI has not arrested anyone connected to the explosives.
On Thursday, Harris delivered remarks to mark the first anniversary of the riot.
“On January 6th, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful: The lawlessness, the violence, the chaos,” Harris said.
She added, “The answer to whether we will meet that test resides where it has always resided in our country – with you, the people. We cannot let our future be decided by those bent on silencing our voices, overturning our votes, and peddling lies and misinformation.”
