GOP Lawmaker Says Capitol Riot Wasn’t Terrorist Attack

Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) told West Virginia Metro News that it was “insulting” to classify the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as a domestic terrorist attack.

Said Mooney: “It was a protest. It was a protest. That’s what it was. A few people went in and the law should be implemented for those who broke it.”

Politico: “For what it’s worth: Prosecutors have documented more than 1,000 assaults on police from those that participated in the attack. Several people also died.”
