Of course we all knew this was coming ever since the Jan. 6th Committee reported that Georgia GOP Rep. Barry louder had given a tour of one of the buildings of the closed-for-tours Capitol Complex on the day before the insurrection on Jan. 6, and Loudermilk claimed he did not. Cause these people lie like they breathe.
Loudermilk went from ‘I didn’t’ to…last night…’I did but we went to the gift shop…’
…the gift shop in the tunnel underneath the building.
Right.
AOC has receipts:
He changed it a little last night. https://t.co/2ZnElXiRza

I interned on the hill in college and part of my job was to give constituents tours of the Capitol. I never once showed them these areas . Why is that guy taking a picture in the underground tunnels??

Remember when republicans made fun of you for saying you feared for your life on Jan 6? https://t.co/FC4Ias81KM

Two million??? That’s a larf.
Rep Barry Loudermilk:
MAY 12, 2021: “I didn’t give any tours”
MAY 19, 2022: “Okay I gave a tour to a family with young children”
MAY 20, 2022: “Okay I gave a tour to a family with young children and their guests”
JUNE 14, 2022: “Okay I gave a tour to 16 people”

Deflection alert:
I fully understand 'Hindsight is 20/20'… but this appears to reflect incredibly poorly on Capitol Security.
Tensions were high, we knew Trump had an event scheduled near the Capitol and plans to disrupt the vote, shouldn't the behavior on these tours been a dead giveaway?…

O.k. I can buy this:
Well, he said the truth, it was NOT “A TOUR”. It was actually a recognizance mission to prepare for the insurrection

Man, it would be nice if there were finally consequences for one of these lying a-holes…
It was definitely not a “tour”, more like a recon mission. Everyone in the group taking pix of the same thing (exits and stairways). No one on the “tour” took one selfie near something significant in the building. Yeah, that’s not suspicious.
I saw one kid.
I want to know who these people are. Real names. Loudermilk’s office should have gotten that information and passed it to security staff.
(A friend and I got a tour of a nuclear power plant, including some areas not normally open, because he knew one of the operators. The company did a background check first.)
The committee got this stuff at least two weeks ago, and asked for Loudermilk to talk with them. He refused, then said that about it being a tour for a constituent family “and some guests”. Then this was released, which says that he was absolutely lying.
Can’t resist “Loudermilk biscuits.Heaven’s they’re greasy and sedititous!”
