Pelosi wasn't giving "tours", Trump's cult did.
The Jan. 6 Committee on Wednesday released new
footage of a man who on
Jan. 6 outside the Capitol made violent verbal
threats against top Democratic lawmakers and who the day before had been taken on a tour of House office buildings by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga.
The man is heard in a video outside the Capitol threatening Democrats Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In the days after the deadly riot, Democratic lawmakers raised concerns about tours given of the Capitol complex, which had been closed to members of the public due to pandemic restrictions.
The surveillance footage released Wednesday shows Loudermilk giving a tour to a small group — some wearing red caps — as some individuals take photos of Capitol staircases, tunnels and security checkpoints that are used by lawmakers and staff members daily.
Loudermilk initially denied that he gave any tour on Jan. 5, 2021; when more evidence came out, he denied any wrongdoing. The Georgia Republican, a Trump ally, said the Jan. 6 committee has never personally contacted him about the tour, and that he only learned about their request for information from the media.
"They're only interested in creating a narrative for you guys," Loudermilk told reporters as he left his office Wednesday afternoon. "There's nothing there."
It's like you guys get your Bull Shit straight from the Kremlin.
