Republicans triggered in Jan. 6 hearing turn to gaslighting, whitewashing and shouting:
The House Jan. 6 hearing Wednesday walked through the rancor and rage coming from supporters of former President Donald Trump as they were faced with the reality and accountability of the Capitol attack.
The analysis began with the gaslighting from at least three Republicans who downplayed the riot or denying it altogether.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA)
said that those who attacked police, and trashed the Capitol were just a ''normal tourist visit' from 'peaceful patriots" being
orderly" in Statuary Hall that day.
Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX)
said during the hearing that the attackers were just a "mob of misfits."
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
passed over the violence saying that
"many…peacefully protested" on Jan. 6.
Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA)
claimed "it was Trump supporters who lost their lives that day,"
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC)
questioned how Attorney General Merrick Garland even knows that the mob was of Trump supporters?
