“GOP lawmakers gave tours to Trump supporters before riot,” CNBC reported . “Police investigating whether lawmakers gave rioters tour of Capitol before Siege,” The New York Times ‘ headline read .
The Washington Post got more specific, saying first that a Democratic congresswoman said that “Lawmakers gave groups ‘reconnaissance’ tours of the Capitol one day before riots,” and a few days later that it was Rep. Lauren Boebert who “gave Capitol tour to ‘large’ group before the riots.” Democrats demanded a ” probe ,” with 34 of House Dems seeking an investigation . January 6 Committee Chair Bennie Thompson said that there was “evidence” that “sitting members of Congress gave tours to Capitol rioters the day before they stormed the building,” reported the Daily Mail .
Republicans asked the Department of Justice for a briefing on these claims, and any evidence to back them up. This in April of 2021, three months after the Capitol riot , during which time the rumors were swirling, with Snopes providing, at least, that they were ” unproven .”
Now, more than a year after the protest at the Capitol, House Republicans have seen the surveillance video, and said outright that the Democrats claims are “baseless.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
