are forcing their way further into the building, and that s why unlike the senate the members are in the chamber. they put on gas masks, they take off their identifying pins so they can be rounded up. they seek shelter in the house chamber with the mob literally trying to bang it down the doors outside. the night before her death ashley babbitt posted a tweet quote, nothing will stop us, they can try and shrine but the storm is here it is descending upon d.c. in less than 24 hours. dark to light. if ashley babbitt had been allowed to go through that window the, in the house chamber, she would ve been followed by the mob, think about what might have happened. paul gosar seems to be concerned about her death yet he shares the moral responsibility for all the events of that day. the situation that led to her death was brought about at least in part by the delayed he
the ride. there s lauren boebert who was new to congress, tweeted on the morning of the six today is 1776. it i want to focus on congress paul both start. part of the reason that things got so harry, with the mob including ashley babbitt, getting so close to the people in the presidential line of succession is because the house took longer that they to adjourn the senate. i only understood this after a watch the documentary. rioters broke into the building at around 2:10 pm. the senate adjourned couple of minutes later, the messages sent. you might remember that moment, i was watching live on air. james lankford interrupted and incomes whispers and everyone starts moving quickly. everyone gets out. the house, at the same time, continued in session for several more minutes and part of the reason was because paul
caused with his recitation of the big lie that the election was stolen, on the floor of the united states house of representatives. on that day, when congress had a duty to simply ratify the people s choice for president, and declare joe biden who was the rightful president the rightful president. so yes, the question of who does have blood on their hands from that day part of the reason why we need to commit to investigate. congressman benny thompson is the chair of the select committee to investigate january six and he joins me now. congressman, i feel like there s a lot we don t know about the deaths of the individuals that died that day. there s been sporadic reports, we have some reporting on ashley babbitt and her death, and other individuals, a woman who was declared a matthews or and brian sicknick. would that be the focal point of the committee? we will look at everything,
