House Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) baselessly claimed that the Jan. 6 insurrection on the Capitol was “made up” when asked whether he supported giving federal payouts to people who had assaulted police.

“Look, January 6 is an issue that was made up in the first place,” Norman said. “That was a staged thing from day one.”
...
Norman was among those who condemned the insurrection at the time, releasing a statement saying, "This is utterly unacceptable. This is NOT who we are, and I condemn in the STRONGEST possible terms the actions of rioters who have breached the Capitol Building."

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) took the Senate floor Thursday to lie repeatedly about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, amplifying the wild claims of conspiracy theorists who willfully distort the truth.

Sad but funny. Funny but sad. What is wrong with these people? They keep getting elected. Whatta ya gonna do?
