January 6th Was About Treachery and Treason

Andrew Clyde, a Republican congressman from the Georgia, the same state that coughed up Marjorie Taylor Greene onto the floor of Congress, made news a couple of times this week.   First, Rep Clyde put himself at the forefront of the GOP effort to downplay the riot that swept through the Capitol on that fateful day, comparing the insurrection to a "normal tourist visit."

Clyde lied, of course.  As of yesterday 483 Trump-loving rioters had been arrested for their parts in that "normal tourist visit," with more arrests sure to follow - and numerous representatives and senators have rebutted Clyde's minimizing of the insurrection by posting photos on Twitter of damage done to their offices by the "tourists."  

Yesterday Andrew Clyde again made the news when a couple of embarrassing photos of him made their way into the news cycle.  One showed Rep. Clyde along with some other House members on January 6th barricading an interior door to the House chamber with an upturned desk.  A second photo, according to Britain's "Independent" newspaper "appears to show Rep. Clyde screaming in terror inside the House chamber.  His hands are up in the air, and his face contorted in fear."

What a shame that pistol-packing Marjorie wasn't around to protect him!

There is now apparently a move afoot in Congress to censure Rep. Clyde for his disingenuous remarks regarding whatever it was that occurred at the US Capitol on January 6th of this year, an event that brought about the deaths of five individuals - including an on-duty Capitol Police officer.

Normal tourist visit indeed!

January 6th was an attempt to overthrow democracy in the United States of America.  It needs to be investigated by a high-level, non-partisan commission and the citizens of this nation must be informed of the role that any government officials may have played in organizing and carrying out the events of that day.  Anything less would be tantamount to a coverup and would provide a breeding ground for future acts of treachery and treason!
