played to the attempts to overturn the 2020 election. today the january 6th committee released new surveillance video it says it shows congressman barry loudermilk giving a tour to tunnel entrances at a time when it was still closed to the public because of covid. the hours-long tour was given on january 5th, the day before the insurrection. in a letter to loudermilk, the committee points out these so-called guests seemed very interesting in photographing unusual aspects, like stairways, hallways and security checkpoints, not your average tourist pho ops. the capitol police chief says he s reviewed and saw none of the actions are suspicious. pennsylvania congressman brendan boyle tweeted. this is the stairwell i take to my office. in my eight years here, i have never seen a tourist take a picture of it. he told nbc news the committee is pushing a false narrative that has already been put to bed. but according to committee, that same guy you saw on the tour taking photos in th
in her video today, congresswoman cheney played a longer version of testimony we first heard some of yesterday from eric herschman, one of the white house lawyers, that eastman spoke with. it was the day after eastman i don t remember why, he called me or texted me, wanted to talk with me and said he couldn t reach others. and he started to ask me something about georgia and revealing something, potentially for appeal. and i said to him, are you out of your f-ing mind? i said, i only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on. orderly transition. i said, i don t want to hear any more f-ing words coming out of your mouth other than orderly transition. repeat those words to me. what did he say? eventually he said orderly transition. g i said, good, john. now i m going to give you the best advice you ll ever get in your life. get yourself a good lawyer, you re going to need it. and i hung up on him. right now we want to take a closer look at another ke
state republican incumbent precisely following trump will find themselves on the menu. these are the first so-called trump s revenge primaries you can say. the january 6th committee hearing gotten underway, the first time since the broader electorate had the opportunity to hear testimonies about the event leading up to the insurrection and donald trump s possible role in fermenting and pushing known election lies. known because his family members and what aide were learning. trump is not on any of these ballots. the connective tissue is a platform that echoes his sentiment. as much as the committee tried to convey of what we saw on january 6th, is a continue threat. the question is whether hearings impact the voters at all? and even still the 2020 lies are casting a big shadow over many of these 2022 races. in south carolina, the polls are closed but votes are being counted. you got two incumbent republican members of congress in this deep red state. tom rice is one of ten re
