May 12, 2021: January 6 "Tourist Visit" to Capitol Hill

 

5/12/21: During a Wednesday hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives, several GOP lawmakers tried to make it sound as if the attack on Capitol Hill wasn’t as terrible as it looked on camera. 

“It was not an insurrection,” Rep. Andrew Clyde from Georgia barked. “If you didn’t know that TV footage was a video from (Jan. 6), you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.” 

Not sure what video he was referring to. Was it the one where one rioter was shot dead by Capitol police? Or the one where an officer was dragged down the steps by the tourists and beaten? 

And what group of tourists ever chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” forcing the vice president, his wife, and daughter to flee for safety? (See: 5/14/21.)


Pepper spraying a group of "normal tourists."


More tourist fun!
