MAGA lawmakers who trembled during J6 attack will be 'humiliated' at Thursday hearing: report

Raw Story  

GOP lawmakers are going to target Republican lawmakers during Thursday's primetime hearing by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack at the U.S. Capitol. "The Jan. 6 committee plans to use its Thursday night hearing to call out insurrection-friendly lawmakers who cowered during the Capitol attack but have since downplayed the insurrection’s severity," Rolling Stonereported Wednesday, citing "two sources familiar with the committee’s planning." "The bulk of the Thursday night hearing is expected to focus on Trump’s actions during the insurrection, including whether he took any action to defuse the riot at a time when lawmakers were under attack," the magazine reported. "But using photos and footage to slap down MAGA lawmakers’ claims of a 'tourist visit' from 'peaceful patriots' is part of a broader effort to bring reality to bear on a fictitious, pro-Trump reimagining of Jan. One such moment occurred after Rep. Andrew Clyde compared that unsuccessful insurrection to a "normal tourist visit."
