President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech back in April addressed 9/11 completely, instead, he insisted that. Jan 6 was "the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."
Though former intelligence officials, Rep. Eric Swalwell, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are among those who expressed the sought-after Jan. 6 commission as "9/11-style."
A long article by Fox News details the revulsion and anger that family members of 9/11 victims feel whenever they hear the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6 being related to the tragedy from two decades ago.

Here's an analysis: Jim Riches, retired New York Deputy Fire Chief, lost his firefighter son. "Are they kidding me? 3,000 people died, plus we have more people dying from the air that was down there … They're comparing it to score points politically. The families are really [angry]. When I talk to them, when they compare it to that, they find that outrageous."

Debra Burlingame's brother was a pilot, killed in the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon.

Joe Connor's cousin Steven Schlag died in the World Trade Center. He remembers trying to contact Schlag that day but couldn't get through and still remembers the moment the towers fell. "They just dehumanize our families for political gain. I guess they call it gaslighting. They can say these things that will make people believe that these riots were worse than the worst thing that happened on American soil. Either they're ignorant or they're just really devious and clever, and you can put nothing past them, because if you're willing to lie to that degree … It's a disturbing trend to me."

FROM DISGRACE TO REDEMPTION: DAN RATHER TO MAKE UNEXPECTED RETURN TO CBS
"Grizzly Joe" lost four friends, got their names tattooed on his arm. "Numerous criminals masquerading as self-styled ‘patriots’ (I call them ‘extremists’) fought with police officers and sullied the Capitol by virtue of the incursion. It strikes me that if folks need to compare January 6 to 9/11, they have no faith in their ability to portray January 6 as the unfortunate criminal act that it was."
