Maryland's GOP governor slams 'whitewashing' of Jan. 6 riot

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.

He offered the help since Maryland is right there, but they had to wait until they were asked to go in. There are several things that I don't like Hogan for, but his attitude towards tRump is not one of them.

And, that's not going to happen. Too many people saw this for them to simply be able to lie their way out of it. McCarthy has made himself look ridiculous. They are getting called out from within their own party every day.

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.
