Republican house member, Andrew Clyde from Georgia:
"Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures. You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from Jan. 6, you’d think it was a normal tourist visit.”
Are Republicans really this stupid? So embarrassing. Stop letting these Republican leaders make you look like such fools.
Would you kindly let us know the source of this quote.

How can you deny actual video of this fool making such an idiotic statement? It's not "fake news" or "msm". These are the words that came out of this Trump supporting fool's mouth.
A few other Republicans made stupid comments, like asking who conducted the poll to conclude that the mob was Trump supporters. MAGA hats, Trump flags, “Hang Mike Pence” chants, ...
It is truly unbelievable to see how Republicans are not only denying the insurrection, but coming up with very creative explanations of what did take place.
And then you have Kevin McCarthy leaving his meeting with Biden and saying no one is saying the election was stolen any more.

The source of this quote and others would be the mouths of the fools who say these idiotic lies. They are on video and Republicans still try to blame MSM or say it's just "fake news".
Every person on FOX who talked about the Capitol incident condemned it. At least all those I saw did. How many on CNN condemned the rioting, looting and destruction of property done by BLM and Antifa. Democrats think violence and breaking the law is perfectly acceptable if it's for a cause they agree with. They want you to believe that looting and destroying property in demonstrations is a form of peaceful protest as long as it's done by those who support the Democratic party. They do it for one reason and the same reason they're letting in tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and that is because they want to stay in power indefinitely no matter how much America is destroyed by their policies.

Obviously, you don't watch CNN or have conversations with Democrats. The vast majority of Democrats, including President Biden and reporters on CNN, condemned the looting and violence. As a Democrat, I support the constitutional right for Democrats and Republicans to peacefully protest. I unequivocally do not support looting and violence on the part of anyone regardless of party affiliation. I know, you'll quote extremist Maxine Waters. She is one of 435 legislators in congress. She is not the president. She represents a very small fraction of the Democratic Party. Stop letting Fox News and other far right media sources tell you what Democrats think and actually have a conversation with a Democrat. I do not know of any of my Democratic friends who believe that looting and rioting are ever justified. The rioters and looters of last summer were not wearing "Biden-Harris" gear because most of them are opportunists looking for a free TV or anarchists who don't vote. There is no doubt who the violent rioters who breached our Capitol Building support as those fools were dressed head to toe in Trump gear.

I also support peaceful protests and I support equal justice for those who break the law during violent protests. Were those who stormed the Capitol sentenced much more harshly than the violent BLM protesters. Damn right they were. Now that police departments are being defunded violent crime is skyrocketing. I wonder if the two are tied together. Surely not.
Listen to Joe Biden. He is not in favor of defunding the police. If police reform doesn't happen, police departments will be defunded because cities can't afford to continue to pay massive settlements to victims and their families. George Floyd's family got 27 million. Breanna Taylor's family got 12 million. These civil lawsuit settlements are costing taxpayers a fortune. Minneapolis could have saved 27 million taxpayer dollars if they had appropriately handled previous complaints about Chauvin.

The election may not have been "stolen". But there is no denying, as a result of Covid., the rules were changed so as to favor the democrat candidate. It can accurately said that this was the first time that a president was elected by a virus

In all fairness:
In what way is Clyde a "Republican leader"? Until now, were you even aware of his existence?

It is the "Democratic" party, therefore the term is "Democratic" candidate.

How did the Covid precautions in voting advantage democrat voters over Republican ones other than trump saying not to vote by mail in ballot and his cult following those suggestions?

Agreed. The changes in procedures were based on attempts to limit viral transmission and had nothing to do with political affiliation. It was, as you say, the sheeple who listened to Trump.

Many un requested mail in ballots were sent to millions of households. No voter id of ANY kind. Even non citizens recieved mail in ballots. No requirements for absentee voting. Ballot harvesting. Poor or non existant poll watching. The overwhelming number of in person ballots went for Trumpp. Mail in ballots (more difficulkt to verify accurately) went for Biden. Al the normal voting methods were changed as a result opf the virus.If you, or anyone else believes that if there were no Covid, Trump would have not been re-elected then you have not been on this planet for the past 2 years
