The Jan. 6 panel says Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s tour featured people who “photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of interest to tourists.'
The committee also noted that some of the people on the tour attended the rally that preceded the riot at the Capitol the following day. One of them who appeared to photograph a staircase during the tour marched to the Capitol on Jan. 6. He filmed someone with a sharpened a flagpole who said, “It’s for a certain person.” He filmed himself saying, “There’s no escape for Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler. We’re coming for you.
“They got it surrounded,” he added as he marched to the Capitol. “It’s all the way up there on the hill, and it’s all the way around, and they’re coming in, coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, even you AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs. … When I get done with you, you’re going to need a shine on top of that bald head.”
The committee released the video on Wednesday. Once again, the man who shot it while threatening lawmakers on his way to the Capitol was given a tour of the building the previous day by a Republican who opposed the certification of the Electoral College. Surveillance footage shows a tour led by Loudermilk to areas in the House Office Buildings, as well as the entrances to Capitol tunnels.
Individuals on the tour photographed/recorded areas not typically of interest to tourists: hallways, staircases and security checkpoints.
