A Republican Texas lawmaker who attended the January 6 pro-Trump rally, which preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol, has denied the day's events were an insurrection.

Kyle Biedermann made the claim during a debate on Thursday about a a controversial GOP elections bill dubbed the SB1.

Democrat Erin Zweiner tabled an amendment to prevent participants who encouraged or participated in a state of federal insurrection from becoming a voter assistant, The Dallas Morning News reports.

In response, Biedermann said: "People that attended that rally and attended the January 6 event, you're calling them all insurrectionists?"

Asked by Zweiner if he believed that "the events of Jan. 6 were an insurrection," Biedermann replied: "Of course not."

2. If we can't even get most R legislators to admit an insurrection was an insurrection...

we're pretty close to doomed.

WTF do they call an armed attack on Congress?

3. My question to the man would be this;

If storming the Capitol Building, in an unlawful and violent attempt to stop the Congress from doing it's job, with the goal of overturning a free and fair election, to install a candidate who clearly lost the vote, is not an insurrection, could you please tell me what, in your definition, an insurrection would be?

5. Well, says the man...

If they were BLM and the winning candidate was a Republican, THEN that would be an insurrection.
