“Representative Andrew Clyde (R-GA) said that calling the attack on the Capitol an insurrection is a ‘bald-faced lie’ and that ‘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….’ “

It’s beyond comprehension and credibility that a U.S. congressman could say such a thing. Normal tourist visit? That’s tragically funny. Was it a normal tourist visit when Buffalo-Man trashed Pelosi’s office, then sat in her chair and propped his legs up on her desk? Or when people were killed on both sides? If that’s the new normal for tourism, Washington can count on a radical drop in their tourist business.

Where can I sign up for the guided tour visit where we get to climb to the upper windows and smash them to gain entry?

Right. I still keep thinking, "How could there be a U.S. congressman who believes this, and whose view represents the view of many millions of Americans. How could that be? Woe is us. We're in big trouble now.

Segment from Don Lemon Show - just another normal tourist visit? Of course, just another bald-faced lie made evident by the fact that it has been years since any tourists have been allowed to enter the U.S. Capitol by climbing up the steps. Visitors are required to enter through the Visitors Center and then must take a guided tour. Here's the footage from Don Lemon for those like me who don't subscribe to the cable channel: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/05/13/officer-fanone-capitol-insurrection-footage-exclusive-ctn-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/cnn-tonight-highlights/

Don Lemon was overcome with emotion after the first showing of this body cam footage. He has given Fanone a voice on his show and proclaims repeatedly that Fanone is a true hero and PATRIOT. I watched it last night for the first time. I wept. I felt the white hot anger from the crazed people that got their hands on Fanone. Without his pleas affecting a few to help him, they would have shot and killed him...with his own gun. One could feel it through the video. It was yet again another lynching, but in a different time, method, and victim.....but perpetrated by the same hate and total loss of reason.

This is part of Trump’s base. It perplexes me why those that are not like these zealots remain in that base. Can it possibly be they secretly approve of the treatment of that police officer???? If so, we are at civil war.

Depending on how many people approve of the way that officer was treated, we could be in for a civil war. It's really hard to imagine that the U.S. could have another civil war, but it's also obvious that "battle lines are being drawn." The insurrectionists need to brought to trial soon; the longer the U.S. waits, the more time passes, the more confidence the thugs feel, and the more time they have to plan another "normal tourist visit."

I just now watched the Don Lemon video. What a horror. Those dumb thugs who attacked the guard need to be slapped around a bit. Then put on trial.
