JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Congressman Michael Guest was on the House floor when the announcement was made about the Capitol breach.
“You could hear the crowd continuing to come down,” explained Guest. “As I saw the back window of the House chamber being broken out by people trying to gain access to the chamber, I decided at that time it was best for me to leave. Returned with the other members to the Longworth Ways and Means Committee Room. We were sheltering at that point. And at that point, I met up with former Congressman Gregg Harper.”
