One day after the Capitol attack, Perkins did not blame Trump, but said, "There are those who will say that the real villains of the siege were Antifa or some other fascists in disguise. There is no evidence to suggest Antifa led the attack, while FBI investigations have linked several militia and far-right extremist groups to the violence.

Jim Daly, the CEO of Focus on the Family for the last decade, stepped up, leading the ministry’s Inauguration Day of Prayer 2021 livestream that Wednesday morning.
