During a House Oversight Committee hearing on the Jan. 6 riot, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., said
“There was an undisciplined mob. There were some rioters, and some who committed acts of vandalism. But let me be clear, there was no insurrection and to call it an insurrection in my opinion, is a bold faced lie. Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol, and walk through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures, you know,” he continued.
“If you didn't know that TV footage was a video from January the sixth, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit,” Clyde said.


How are these Trump followers getting away with outright lies? What kind of person believes them?

Clyde owns a gun store in
Clyde owns a gun store in Georgia. It fits.
Clyde's district in North
Clyde's district in North Georgia is next to Marjorie Taylor Greene's.
She recently harassed "Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber on Wednesday afternoon."
"Two Washington Post reporters witnessed the exchange and reported Ocasio-Cortez did not stop. Greene caught up with Ocasio-Cortez and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a far-left activist group, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them "terrorist" groups.
"You don't care about the American people," Greene shouted, the Post reported. "Why do you support terrorists and antifa?"
Last week she held a rally with Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz.
"I just got to check something; I just want to make sure I'm in the right place. Tell me, who is your president?" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled to a packed ballroom of mostly maskless supporters.
"Donald Trump!" they yelled in response.
"That's my president, too," she said, to cheers.
Greene, the freshman congresswoman from Georgia, was there with Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz to kick off what they say will be a series of America First rallies."
Two peas in a pod. Too bad they are so close to Tennessee. We don't need any help from those crazies.
(CNN)Republican Rep. Marjorie
(CNN)Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, during an interview on a conservative podcast this week, compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to continue to require members of the House to wear masks on the chamber floor to steps the Nazis took to control the Jewish population during the Holocaust.
She said,
"You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany," Greene said. "And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."
