In reply to the discussion: Boebert's mother confirmed she went on "detailed tour" [View all]Ford_Prefect
(8,693 posts)due to COVID-19 exposure rules as applied throughout the Capitol building. This was not an optional exception allowed to members when Boebert and others did so on Jan. 5th.
According to several of the 30 members who have complained it was a seriously egregious violation of Capitol health and safety rules that even NEW members had been briefed on in no uncertain terms. This is was not an "Oops, I'm sorry" moment. It is clear there was a pattern to the tours, who was leading them, and who was included. According to witnesses this is the period during which the office panic buttons were torn out.
The whole question of who led and who participated in those inappropriate and forbidden tours is just as serious as who sabotaged Capitol Building Security. This was not an error in judgement. It was a recon mission in aid of those who attacked on the 6th.
