Former Republican strategist Matthew Dowd said on Tuesday that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol carried out by pro-Trump insurrectionists was worse for the nation than the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “Because there’s been no accountability, it’s given permission to do more of this,” Dowd said on MSNBC. “That’s what I fear about right now,” Dowd said, adding:“What would happen if after 9/11 we had done nothing? To me, though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9/11 because it’s continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means. @matthewjdowd on the Capitol insurrection: "...Jan. 6 was worse than 9/11 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission to people to pursue autocratic means."
