1. After this, there is no way they can claim this was "an ordinary tourist visit!"

Not to mention, "tourists" weren't allowed at that time due to Covid...

[ancianita]

2. Absolutely not! In over a year, there's never yet been any counter footage of ordinary tourists!

[Rhiannon12866]

3. This should put those "claims" to rest once and for all!

And it's not like we haven't seen those now making those claims barricading doors on that day...

[ancianita]

5. Remember the 60 times it took to put tfg's claims to rest? Magats might put public claims to rest,

but bless their hearts, they will not stop believing their claims are true.

We should know that 70% walk around not knowing the difference between fact and narrative, and so to them, their story is as true as ours. They don't understand the meaning of the "whole truth and nothing but the truth." They only understand their truth.

We should move on now and stop trying to show them the truth. It will be anywhere, standing as part of American history, if they bother to get out of their belief bubble.

8. You're right, and they weren't watching tonight, anyway

But for those who were watching, and that has to include DOJ, the truth is out there, no excuses possible.

[ancianita]

9. I think they were. I look forward to finding out some viewership numbers.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Well, for anyone who watched, there is clearly no denying what actually transpired

And who was responsible.

[Warpy]

4. Let's jo[e there's video of Brooks, Greene, Boebert and others

leading some of those thugs on tours the day before.

I want the lid blown right off that whole stinking party.

6. GOP Congressman Walks Back Denial Of Capitol Tour Ahead Of Jan. 6

Rachel Maddow reviews how Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk steadily walked back his statements about members of Congress giving tours of the Capitol ahead of the January 6th Trump insurrection, from outright denial, to begrudging admission, to being rewarded with a Donald Trump endorsement.

7. Pretty sure that's coming. But the main target right now is Donald Trump. Congress people will, in

the course of things, be exposed. It can't all get muddled together. It's already been mentioned through Scott Perry, and that's a thread they might take up later. But if not...

Once the committee has shown the evidence of Trump defrauding the U.S., everyone will believe what comes out about Congress people later.

Don't think this won't affect the re-elections of those cowards. (The PAC ads coming out against Democrats are already vicious, though.)

[Warpy]

11. I know about those ads. Two have been pulled, the lies were so egregious

but of course the opposition hasn't issued either a retraction or an apology and they never will.

The only good thing is how clumsy those ads have gotten with the departures of The Lincoln Project.

I just hope these hearings have the same effects the Watergate hearings did. They devastated support for Nixon, even with the actual audio tapes withheld from the public. He left office with a 24% approval rating.

Of course, that was before Reagan handed the party to the religious nuts.
