Rep. Barry Loudermilk denies offering a reconnaissance tour to terrorists and says he solely gave household excursions.
Loudermilk and Rep. Rodney Davis stated in a press release:
MORE: …. Committee is “pushing a verifiably false narrative that Republicans carried out reconnaissance excursions on Jan fifth. The info converse for themselves; no place that the household went on the fifth was breached on the sixth, the household didn’t enter the Capitol grounds on the sixth..”

The 1/6 Committee claims to have video evidence of the tour. The Republicans are claiming that they have been simply exhibiting a household round on 1/5. If the Republicans persist with this story, it may get ugly quick if the video tells a distinct story.
Republicans have lied and refused to testify earlier than the committee, so there isn’t a good cause for anybody to consider them after they declare that they have been giving “household excursions.”
If Loudermilk was solely giving a household tour, he shouldn’t have any drawback with explaining this to the committee. The denial and declare that the 1/6 Committee is pushing a false narrative is political spin, not a proof for what was taking place within the Capitol on 1/5.
Home Republicans have gone from denying that there have been any excursions of the Capitol earlier than the assault to claiming that they have been solely offering household excursions.
One thing isn’t including up, and the 1/6 Committee ought to launch the video and permit the American folks to see who’s telling the reality.
