Most definitely no fan of Cawthorn, but:

Link to tweet

Cawthorn did not say he armed people around him; he said the people around him are armed. He also didn’t make any link between the Capitol riot and how he uses his wheelchair to carry weapons - he just said that’s what he does, as we already know.

There are tons of replies to the effect of “how did he know he needed to bring weapons on that day?!!” He always has weapons, he didn’t say he handed out weapons (much less to rioters), and he didn’t say anything here to suggest he brought special weapons on the 6th.

(Even if a member of Congress did get extra-armed on the 6th, that wouldn’t suggest anything criminal; they’re allowed to carry at the Capitol, and you could even find analysts on Twitter warning the day was going to be violent. In summary: not-great video captioning.)
