Lawmaker Who Called Rioters ‘Tourists’ Barricaded Door

“A photo emerged of a GOP lawmaker who last week downplayed the Capitol siege and compared the rioters to tourists barricading the House doors with furniture on January 6,” Insider reports.

“Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) said during a House oversight committee hearing on Wednesday that it was a ‘bald-faced lie’ to call the riot an insurrection.”

“After Clyde’s comments, a photographer shared a photo he had taken of Clyde using furniture to barricade the House against rioters trying to force their way in.”
