U.S. Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-Newton) was in a good mood onthe morning on January 6, 2021.
His party picked up a pair of U.S. Senate seats in runoff elections in Georgia the day before. However, it's memorable for Auchincloss now for a different reason: the Capitol Hill riot.
Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker is no fan of former president Donald Trump — and reiterated that on Thursday this week.
On Thursday, January 6, 2022, the one-year anniversary of the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot, Baker issued a statement praising law enforcement's actions on that day — and condemning those who participated in the riot.
