Andrew Clyde has become a charter member of the Congressional Dipsh** of the Year Club.<\/p>\n

The Georgia Republican has said publicly for all the world to hear that the Jan. 6 insurrection\/riot\/terrorist attack was none of that. That it was similar to a group of tourists strolling through the Capitol Building on a guided tour.<\/p>\n

As Yahoo News reported: Clyde asserted that television footage from Jan. 6 showed people entering the Capitol and taking videos and pictures “in an orderly fashion” and “if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Really! Can this guy ever be taken seriously ever again on anything that pours out of his pie hole?<\/p>\n

GOP lawmaker claims ‘there was no insurrection’ and Capitol riot looked like a ‘normal tourist visit’ (yahoo.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

But … he said it.<\/p>\n

Wow! I don’t believe any of us ever have seen a guided tour that included police officers being bludgeoned by rioters. Or by individuals smashing through windows. Or those who decided to take a dump on the floor of the Capitol.<\/p>\n

Clyde objected to the formation of a bipartisan commission to examine the cause and effect of the Jan. 6 insurrection.<\/p>\n

But for this idiot to suggest that the riot that killed five individuals was nothing more than a guided tour is — and the language fails me here — is the stuff of a traitor.<\/p>\n\n
