Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin cornered GOP Georgia congressman Andrew Clyde, calling him out on his statement that some Capitol rioters looked like tourists, in a heated exchange.
During a hearing of the rules committee in the House on Tuesday night, Mr Raskin brought up Mr Clyde’s statement from May, in which he said that if you looked at the footage from 6 January, “you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit”.
Mr Raskin initiated the 10-minute clash by asking Mr Clyde if he had watched that morning’s hearing of the 6 January select committee, where four police officers who fought the pro-Trump mob gave testimony about their experiences that day. Mr Raskin is one of the representatives on the committee.
