In this excerpt from a social media video, Rep. Mikie Sherrill claims some members of Congress led people on a"reconnaissance" tour before the riots.Democratic lawmakers leveled a series of stunning allegations that their GOP colleagues – none of whom they named – may have conspired with rioters before they attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election that President Donald Trump lost.
“From the highest office in the land, Donald Trump provided white supremacists, right-wing extremists, and conspiracy theorists validation and free reign to spew hatred, bigotry, and racism, and yes – commit extreme violence," Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said in a statement Wednesday when she voted to impeach the president a second time."Last year, he gave an order to the Proud Boys to ‘stand back and stand by,’ and that – they did.
Other agencies that have been contacted by lawmakers, including the Government Accountability Office and the two sergeants at arms, have not confirmed whether they’ve opened any formal investigations.Maps of the layout of each floor inside the Capitol are easily located on the internet, and some mark the House speaker’s and other leaders' offices.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former U.S. Army captain, last week requested a wide-ranging investigation – that includes reviewing actions of congressional colleagues – by Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, who leads the Government Accountability Office. Her request was directed by letter to the acting House sergeant at arms, acting Senate sergeant at arms and United States Capitol Police, citing"suspicious behavior and access given to visitors to the Capitol Complex” before the riot.
She said that on a Wednesday conference call between Democratic members of Congress, some members had raised concerns that members of color had been targeted. Bennie Thompson, D-MS, wrote on Facebook last week, condemning those that incited the violence. "To all those who were complicit ," he said,"You all supported this foolishness for 4 years and benefited from it. You don't get to excuse yourself now and pretend to be blameless."Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa.
“We know there’s a lot we’re going to learn moving forward with respect to what transpired on the 6th,” she said. “We’ll have to get to the bottom of it.” Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, who chairs a congressional panel overseeing funding for the Capitol Police, told reporters the tour groups don't mean that"anybody, a member of Congress was necessarily conspiring. But we should be looking into every single aspect of this.

If you don’t have specifics & evidence, why did you publish a story about it? Journalism 101 people.

Then Twitter should flag this.
They legally cannot name names because there’s an active investigation on GOP House members’ collusion with insurrectionists. This article is misleading!
horrible
What I heard was them asking for investigation. Why didn't your tweet say that?
The link to that fringe is fuzzy. It's almost as if journalists are trying to tie BLM to Antifa.
