Georgia’s Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk has found himself in boiling hot water this week after the January 6th House Select Committee, during their explosive public hearings, publicly released damning video footage of the GOP lawmaker personally leading an in-depth tour of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021 — just one mere day before a violent mob of Donald Trump’s supporters would go on to storm and attack the very same building, in the now ex-president’s name, while Congress was inside, in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to stop the official certification of Joe Biden’s election win.
To make matters that much worse, one of the same individuals who were on Loudermilk’s conveniently time Capitol tour did, in fact, return to the government building on January 6th, where he can be heard in the released video making violent threats towards numerous Democratic lawmakers including now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
“They got it surrounded. 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,” the man in the footage released by the House Select Committee can be heard saying. “We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs.”
The footage shows another man carrying a flagpole that, according to the Committee, appeared “to have a sharpened end.” The man can be heard saying, “That’s for somebody special, somebody special.”

The damning video footage also shows several images that were taken by participants of Loudermilk’s milk inside the Capitol on January 5th, including a photo of Nadler’s office plaque.
“When I get done with you, you’re going to need a shine on top of that bald head,” the man says, referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
But despite all that cold, hard, damning proof that just fell in Loudermilk’s lap, the Republican congressman continues to maintain that he simply did nothing wrong.
In a new appearance on Fox, Loudermilk claimed that no one in his tour group did anything he found suspicious, and his tour was perfectly acceptable because the Capitol’s gift shop was open:

The Republican lawmaker doubled down in a two-page response statement against the “baseless accusation about me to the media,” now claiming that he never gave a tour of the Capitol on Jan 5, 2021, at all:
🚨BREAKING🚨: The truth will always prevail. As I’ve said since the Jan. 6 Committee made their baseless accusation about me to the media, I never gave a tour of the Capitol on Jan 5, 2021… pic.twitter.com/qBoLcmxnYQ
