The International Franchise Association (IFA) today released the following statement regarding today’s events at  U.S. Capitol:

“IFA condemns in the strongest terms the violence and destructive behavior we have seen in Washington DC today.

“Our leaders need to take the high road and work to quickly bring about a peaceful transfer of power and uphold the democratic foundations upon which our government, economy, and society are built. While the right to peaceful protest is a fundamental American right, there is no excuse for these actions – or for instigating them. The American people deserve better.”  – Robert Cresanti, IFA President and CEO
