House Republican Claims January 6th Was No Riot, Just 'Normal Tourist Visit'

The comments by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., had many wondering if he was on hallucinogens.

Taking Goebbel's adage a bit too far with this, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Not sure how the House Republican from Georgia said all this with a straight face.

As a friendly reminder, 472 of these "tourists" have been arrested and charged so far. "A normal tourist day" that left five dead and 140 police officers injured.

The last time I was there, members of my tourist group smeared feces on the walls (not really).

Just a normal visit.

Or the people who are screaming for Mike Pence's head... just a normal every day visit from tourists who want to learn more about how the government works!

6. That diagonal leather strap suggests he wearing a holster (and presumably a firearm)

The ass is a gun dealer, and an outspoken 2nd amendment wackadoodle. He could wear a shoulder holsters that don't have that strap, but Hell, it's a great a shout-out to his fellow gunhumpers.
