Capitol Riot Was Not Like "Normal Tourist Visit"
Emerging story
On Wednesday, May 11, during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the Capitol insurrection, Rep. Andrew Clyde said the riot in early January was no different from any other busy tourist day in D.C. He said, "[T]here was no insurrection and to call it an insurrection, in my opinion, is a bold faced lie. Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures, you know."
The video trended with media outlets and social media users trying to set the record straight and offer their opinions of the representative's comments. One twitter user spliced the video of the Rep. Clyde's comments with actual footage from Jan. 6, showing a contrast between the representative's narrative and the reality.
