EXCERPT:
GARLAND: "People can argue with each other as much as they want and as vociferously as they want. But the one thing they may not do is use violence and threats of violence to alter the outcome. An important aspect of this is the American people themselves. The American people must protect each other. They must ensure that they treat each other with civility and kindness, listen to opposing views, argue as vociferously as they want, but refrain from violence and threats of violence. That’s the only way this democracy will survive."
PELLEY: "Why do you feel so strongly about that?"
GARLAND: "Well, I feel it for a number of reasons and a number of things that I’ve seen. But for my own family, who fled religious persecution in Europe, and some members who did not... survive, when they got to the United States, the United States protected them.”
