The violence at the United States Capitol building has drawn a statement from Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness.
The mayor says the “events” in the nation’s capital January 6 “demonstrated a complete disrespect for our country’s cherished institutions and ideals.”
Fadness did not refer to President Trump by name, but said “leadership matters.”
Here is the full statement from Scott Fadness, released during the evening of January 6.
===========
Today’s events in Washington, D.C. demonstrated a complete disrespect for our country’s cherished institutions and ideals. We, as a country, are better than the lawless actions we bore witness to today.
Leadership matters. We must reinstall faith in our institutions and ideals. To do so will require the type of selfless, courageous, and humble leadership that defines American democracy. Civil discourse and servant leadership are skill sets that must be renewed.
For our children’s sake, we must commit ourselves to do better and be better.
