Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia says there was no insurrection on January 6th, and likens the people entering the Capitol on TV footage to tourists. Says the only insurrection he's ever witnessed was the Russia investigation.
People died, windows were smashed, they were chanting to hang Mike Pence, 140 police officers were wounded, the House, Senate and VP were rushed into hiding, staff cowered for hours in offices.
Clyde suggests it was just an unruly mob with some rioters committing "vandalism."

Trump just last week was complaining Jan. 6th wasn't successful in overturning the election and keeping him in power, blaming Pence and McConnell.
Clyde also noted the insurrectionists he claims weren’t insurrectionists failed to breach the House, then says the shooting of a woman in the process of breaching the Speaker’s Lobby feet from the floor probably wasn’t necessary, and doesn’t mention the Senate itself was breached

“There was no insurrection and to call it an insurrection in my opinion is a boldface lie,” he said. He said people walked in an orderly fashion between roped off stanchions at the Capitol taking videos and pictures. !!
