That said, I believe the statement in the first video has a factual error. I can't find anything confirming the existence of a John Lewis statue in the U.S. Capitol either now or on Jan. 6. There is an ongoing movement to have the Alexander Stephens statue replaced with one of John Lewis.

What the insurrectionists desecrated on Jan. 6 was a placard memorial of Lewis on an easel outside Steny Hoyer's office.

I know this might seem a picayune point but I think it important having details correct when you know opponents will seize on any nit to pick.
