Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) slammed some in the Republican Party for "whitewashing" the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
In an interview on "The Takeout Podcast," CBS News's Major Garrett asked the governor to weigh in on efforts within the GOP to "sanitize" the attack, which led to multiple deaths and hundreds of arrests.
"We have to get to the bottom of exactly what happened there, and there's no whitewashing," Hogan said.
"We need to get all the facts and find out exactly what happened. But there's no way to just overlook this and say it didn't happen. The nonsense about 'these were just peaceful tourists' is completely absurd. Talk about major disinformation and lies, that's exactly what that is," he continued.

Their lies about this and about Covid vaccines are catching up with them. Republicans and Fox News are on the run like we've never seen them before. Running from their own lies.
