we got an answer about the mob that day looking for individual members of congress, hunting down individual lawmakers they wanted to target. the answers we got today were the worst possible answers. we have been looking at this. we ve been asking questions about this for a long time, since right after the attack, including multiple segments here on this show talking about it. now, as of today, the whole country looks like we finally know. it started, for us, we first got word of this worst-possible scenario, as i say, right after the january 6th attack. it was a week after january 6th, 2021. congresswoman mikie sherrill, who was a navy veteran, former federal prosecutor, she made a just hair-curling public allegation about other members of congress, republican members of congress. it was very, very worrying, again, one week after january 6th. not only do i intend to see that the president is removed and never runs for office again and doesn t have access to classified ma
events the following day. in fact, the man who was taking the odd pictures of the security checkpoints and the hall wares and the stairways, according to the investigation, he shot this video for facebook live on january 6th, in which he interacts with the person who he calls our fearless leader, the man shows off how he modified his flag pole to put what appears to be something sharp at the tip of it or sharpened the tip of the pole itself to use it like a spear. the man says it is for a certain person and the man shooting the video, the man from congressman loudermilk s tour says yeah, that is for someone special and mimes jabbing it into someone. the man from the tour says on the video they are coming for jerry nadler, repeats jerry nadler s name, congressman nadler s name a couple of different times and coming for jerry nadler, and chuck schumer and aoc and alexandria ocasio-cortez and specifically threatens pelosi and tear out her hair, if he gets his hands
were no tours given of the capitol complex the day before january 6th. republicans said they d looked at all the security footage from january 5th, and they wanted to assure everyone the allegation was bunk. there was no one who led any tour of the capitol complex an january 5th, the day before the attack. one republican staffer described the supposed review in detail to the hill news, saying the republicans watched every second of security camera footage from inside the complex january 5th and, quote, there were no tours, no large groups, no one with maga hats on. there is nothing in there remotely fitting the depiction in mikie sherrill s letter. congressman of georgia filed an ethics complaint against mikie sherrill, claiming she was the real criminal for having made this false allegation, for falsely claimed that any members of congress led any tours of the complex on january 5th. how dare she suggest such a thing. she ought to be investigated for falsely suggesting that.
made out of a flag pole, about how they re going to use that on a certain someone, and then they named individual lawmakers that he says he is coming for, pelosi, nadler, schumer, and ocasio-cortez, and yes in the abstract maybe that sounds like a weird guy fantasizing while he stomps around on the national mall but now with context, we know that same guy, the previous day, with he from a republican congressman, was apparently, apparently casing the office building, where those members had in fact their offices, documenting the stairways, the hallways, and the security checkpoints and how you might use the underground tunnel to get from the office building into the capitol itself, taking picture of nadler s office door potentially mapping the way to get to individual congressional offices and also into the capitol. thanks for that congressman barry loudermilk. thank you very much. why did you deny giving that tour until you were caught for it? and what did you know about the intentions
well, then last month, the january 6th investigators stuck a cork in that pretty definitively. they sent a letter to congressman laudlaudermilk of georgia who says, actually, it appears to be you. not only was one tour led through the complex the day before the capitol attack, but you, sir, you led it. the congressman stopped denying there had been tours on january 5th. he finally did admit that, yes, he led one but he said it was innocent, not related to the january 6th attack the following day at all. he said it was just prejudice against his georgia constituents because they were wearing red maga hats during the tour. he refused to answer questions about it to the january 6th investigators. now, a case against the pro-trump military group that led route to the capitol, it has
