Jamie Raskin (D-MD) BULLIES Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) at yesterday's House Rules Committee hearing
Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin cornered GOP Georgia congressman Andrew Clyde, calling him out on his statement that some Capitol rioters looked like tourists, in a heated exchange.
During a hearing of the rules committee in the House on Tuesday night, Mr Raskin brought up Mr Clyde’s statement from May, in which he said that if you looked at the footage from 6 January, “you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit”.
Mr Raskin initiated the 10-minute clash by asking Mr Clyde if he had watched that morning’s hearing of the 6 January select committee, where four police officers who fought the pro-Trump mob gave testimony about their experiences that day. Mr Raskin is one of the representatives on the committee.
“Let’s stick to the amendment,” Mr Clyde said, pushing back on the line of questioning.
When Mr Raskin kept putting on the pressure concerning whether Mr Clyde had watched the officers’ testimony, the Republican said: “It’s absolutely irrelevant to this amendment right here.”
“He refuses to say whether or not he heard the Capitol officers who risked their lives and have experienced traumatic medical injuries,” Mr Raskin said. “That’s his prerogative.”
Mr Raskin brought up Mr Clyde’s statement earlier that day during the hearing when he noted that Washington Metropolitan Police Department Officer Daniel Hodges repeatedly used the word “terrorists” to refer to the rioters.

Daniel Hodges is wrong as hell. The rioters weren't terrorists. They were rioters.
