A GOP congressman compared Capitol rioters to tourists. Photos show him barricading a door.
Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (R-Ga.) last week downplayed the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, comparing the mob’s breaching of the building to a “normal tourist visit.”
But photos from that day show the congressman, mouth agape, rushing toward the doors to the House gallery and helping barricade them to prevent rioters from entering. The images have resurfaced in recent days on social media amid a wave of disbelief and outrage over Clyde’s comments, including from several Republicans.

There's another interesting aspect to this story-- how many of the perps were recognized by a combination of fascial recognition technology and other tools of modern police work.
I guess that the guy out on bail was simply a tourist on 1/6.../s
I hope that information is seen by his electorate - they need to know the quality of those for whom they vote.
You'll have to wonder if it matters to them.
That's a sad commentary on the integrity and common sense of his electorate.
Yes-- but for some of the MAGA-cultists, it won't matter.
The real "true Believers" (those that still worship at the alter of trump) won't change.
I imagine the police presence at the capitol in Washington has been improved, but now I wouldn't be surprised if there are occasional attacks on state Capitols...
Sounds like a real shitbird.
And he's not the only one...
