Dramatic moment on the House Floor- Majority Leader Steny Hoyer walked a giant picture of a @RepMTG tweet across the House floor. The tweet features an AR-15 and members of the so called “Squad”.
The tweet read:

“AR-15- the squad’s worst nightmare.”
 
Hoyer said: “They are not the squad- they are Ilhan, they are Alexandria, they are Rashida. They are our colleagues.”
More from Hoyer-
“No member ought to be permitted to engage in the kind of behavior that Rep. Greene has and face zero consequences.”
Also from Hoyer-
“This vote can be a first step in correcting the error of those who so far have chosen to do nothing. A short while ago Rep. Greene came to this floor to defend her indefensible conduct. I heard no apology.”
The vote is underway. So far one Republican voting in favor of moving @RepMTG from her committee assignments.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

RIGHT NOW: On the floor of the House @RepMTG is defending herself as the Congress begins the process of removing her from committees.
Greene said that most of the Democratic members have not met her or taken the time to talk to her. Instead they have gotten their impression of her from Media Matters, CNN and other "mainstream media" outlets.
Greene says that when she learned that some of the conspiracy theories that she had leaned into and supported were not true- she “walked away” from them.

NEW: US Capitol Police banned building tours and access to Capitol on day of riot after Democrats raised security concerns. w/ @AnnieGrayerCNN & @DanaBashCNN
cnn.com/2021/01/15/pol…
The memo reiterated guidance from the spring when Cap Police banned tours, which some members of Congress were ignoring. It also locked down access to the Capitol itself to only people with offices there.
Republicans argue Democrats (who've accused GOP Members of conducting reconnaissance missions ahead of the riots) are overstating the guidance. They point out Dems have offered no specific evidence that GOP members were helping the rioters.

RIGHT NOW-> Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who has bragged about her desire to carry a weapon on Capital Hill is currently in a standoff with Capitol Police at the newly installed Metal Detectors outside the chamber doors.
Boebert walked through with her bag which set off the mags. She refused to offer the bag over to be searched and is now in a standoff with Cap Police.
Capitol Police won’t let her in until Boebert shows them what is in her bag, she won’t and is now standing by the entrance of the chamber. She is respectful but defiant.

Here is the setting for today’s drive-in car rally w/ ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩ in support of Jon @Ossoff & ⁦@ReverendWarnock⁩.
This event was supposed to be at 5pm but was moved up to Noon so that Harris can get back to Washington to vote on the Covid-relief package. #gasen
This is my first “drive-in” rally. It is very unique and requires a different level of logistics planning. Planning that is heightened because of the Secret Service protection of VP-Elect Harris.
The VPE Harris motorcade just arrived. “Sound On” for the full drive-in rally experience. #honk

The #GASen Debate on now LIVE on @CNN.
Watch on tv and streaming at cnn.com/go
The AJC's great reporter Greg @Bluestein presses @KLoeffler twice on wether the November election was "rigged". She refuses to answer directly- but pivots to stay that there are "issues" that need to be looked into.
Asked pointed questions about his remarks about police and the military from the pulpit of his church, @ReverendWarnock promises that he will be an ally of law enforcement and work to bridge gaps between police and the community.

As ⁦@KLoeffler⁩ attempts to fire up the crowd in Valdosta - asking them to “vote early” and “request an absentee ballot”.. the crowd responds with chants of “stop the steal!!” #gasen #gapol
Today in series of tweets President Trump has attacked the signature match system in Georgia- a key part of its absentee ballot process.
Sign at tonight’s rally reads:
“Request your absentee ballot right now!”
The two candidates on the ballot in this vitally important #GASen runoff, spoke from the stage for a grand total of roughly 10 minutes. Their speeches came an hour and a half before Trump is expected to take the stage.
