EVENT AND ITS PARTICIPANTS DC NEWS. NOW'S YOUR LOCAL ELECTION HEADQUARTERS THERE. WE'RE TURNING OUR ATTENTION NOW TO LAST NIGHTS, HIGH STAKES PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WITH A FOCUS ON A LOCAL MOMENT WHEN THE MODERATOR ASKED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IF HE CHANGE ANYTHING HE DID DURING THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACKS. HE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THOUGH DEFLECTING BLAMING IN PART DC MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER FOR NOT ACCEPTING HELP FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD. >> REPORTER MARIEL CARBONE LIVE FOR US TONIGHT ON CAPITOL HILL. >> AND MARIO, WHAT IS THE MAYOR SAYING. HOW IS SHE RESPONDING. A LITTLE SAYS AND QUITE SIMPLY PUT, THE MAYOR IS SAYING THAT THAT STATEMENT IS JUST A LIE. SHE'S APPLAUDING DC IN THE CAPITOL POLICE. >> FOR THEIR EFFORTS THAT DAY. AND THIS ISSUE, IT'S REALLY A SENSITIVE ONE FOR VOTERS, NOT JUST HERE IN THE DISTRICT BUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> NEARLY 4 YEARS AFTER RIOTERS STORMED THE CAPITOL. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MAINTAINS HE NEVER INCITED ANY VIOLENCE ON JANUARY PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY. I SAID DURING MY SPEECH, NOT LATER ON. IT'S A STATEMENT VOTERS WHO TUNED IN TO TUESDAY'S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE REJECTED. HE INCITED THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL HE STARTS AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE PATRIOTS AND. I JUST CAN'T BUY IN AN EXCHANGE ON STAGE. MODERATORS ASKED TRUMP IF HE REGRETTED ANY OF HIS ACTIONS THAT DAY. IT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED OF NANCY PELOSI AND THE MAYOR OF WASHINGTON DID JOBS. I WASN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY IN SPOT A RESPONSE BY MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER ON SOCIAL MEDIA WRITING TRUMP WATER OFFER DC 10,000 TROOPS AND THE PRESIDENT NOT THE DC MAYOR CONTROLS THE DC NATIONAL GUARD AND THE FACT IS THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT, UNITED STATES CAPITOL POLICE BACK VIOLENT MOB THAT WAS SOMEONE LIKE DONALD TRUMP. HE NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION. VOTERS LIKE TRACY AND MICHAEL DENUNZIO SAY THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S TAKE. HE NEVER TOOK OWNERSHIP OF GRAVITY OF THE DENIGRATION OF DEMOCRACY THAT HE HAS CREATED A VICE PRESIDENT. KAMALA HARRIS REBUTTED TRUMP'S COMMENTS. IT'S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE AND TO END. >> THE APPROACH THAT IS ABOUT ATTACKING THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR DEMOCRACY BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE OUTCOME. >> AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS FACING 4 FEDERAL CHARGES HERE IN THE DISTRICT. 4 ATTEMPTS TO OVERTURN THAT 2020 ELECTION. KRISTEN SAYS IN THAT CASE IS
