.MaddowBlog: In May, Rep. Clyde compared the Jan. 6 riot to 'a normal tourist visit.' This week, he was given a chance to walk it back. It didn't go well.
GOP Rep. Andrew Clyde defended his description of rioters walking through the Capitol on Jan. 6 appearing to look like a "normal tourist visit" during a committee meeting on Tuesday. The heated exchange occurred hours after four police officers appeared before the select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, offering harrowing testimony that recounted scenes of chaos, violence and destruction from the insurrection.
During a House Rules Committee hearing, Rep. Jamie Raskin asked Clyde if he stood by his earlier rhetoric. The Georgian asked that he be quoted directly. Raskin obliged, reading Clyde's comments from May:"Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion, staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures. You know, if you didn't know the TV footage was a video from January 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit."
