Summary

Law enforcement also found a variety of weapons on the rioters, including a spear, baseball bats, knives and bear spray.Pushback against such comments has been swift.Rep. David CicillineDavid CicillineOvernight Health Care: State vaccine rates fall along red, blue divide | CDC study: Vaccination rates lower in rural counties Lawmakers press AbbVie CEO on increased US prices of two drugs House Democrats request FTC investigate AbbVie's pricing of Humira MORE (D-R.I.) on Thursday introduced resolutions to censure three Republicans for offering mischaracterizations of Jan. 6 during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing that he argued “disrespects the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers on that day and creates danger by emboldening and legitimizing future actors who would attack the United States Capitol in a similar manner.”Cicilline is specifically targeting Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) for stating that an image of rioters walking through stanchions in Statuary Hall looked like a “normal tourist visit”; Rep. Jody HiceJody Brownlow HiceThe Hill's Morning Report - Presented by Facebook - Senate path uncertain after House approves Jan. 6 panel Embattled Georgia secretary of state running for reelection Romney: Capitol riot was 'an insurrection against the Constitution' MORE (R-Ga.) for saying “in fact, it was Trump supporters who lost their lives that day, not Trump supporters who were taking the lives of others”; and Rep. Paul GosarPaul Anthony GosarPorter blasts oil CEOs: 'Declined to answer to the American people' Juan Williams: The GOP's losing bet on Trump Romney: Capitol riot was 'an insurrection against the Constitution' MORE (R-Ariz.) for describing a rioter shot by a Capitol Police officer while attempting to breach the House chamber as a “veteran wrapped in an American flag” who was “executed” and stating that "outright propaganda and lies are being used to unleash the national security state against law abiding U.S. citizens, especially Trump voters.”Clyde himself was photographed helping security officers barricade a door to the House chamber where rioters were trying to break in on Jan. 6, suggesting he saw them as a threat and not visitors on a tour.While 19 Democrats have co-sponsored Cicilline’s effort, no Republicans have signed onto any of the censure resolutions.But during House floor debate on the bill to create a Jan. 6 commission, one of the Republicans who voted for it condemned the efforts to “whitewash” the violence.“Unfortunately, many who rightly criticized and condemned the attack that day have walked back their words or softened their speech.
