Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) when asked why people he gave a tour to on Jan. 5. 2021 took pictures of stairwells and security checkpoints:

“If you go to that stairwell, there’s a golden eagle sconce that’s on the wall … These are folks who had never been to Washington D.C.”

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) claims he didn't give a tour of the Capitol on January 5th, despite clearly giving a tour:

“It was a family that came to visit their congressman, took them to lunch, took them to the gift shop, and showed them around the House office buildings.”

How could you possibly think that was a "tour"? We were showing them around!

"They never asked me to be interviewed!" They sent a letter. "I never got it." And really, if Barry claims he didn't get a letter, that must mean that there's no way in the world Barry could possibly find out that the Committee wanted to chat with him. Q to the E to the mutha-fuckin' D!

Now, Barry would like us all to stop talking about this, please.
