For all the wild-eye claims by Nancy Pelosi and others that the Capitol demonstrators on Jan 6 were engaged in an “insurrection,” it appears that is not the case. Town Hall Tweets video of the interaction between Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Attorney General Merrill Garland along with this transcription.
Rep. @LouieGohmertTX1: "Has any defendant involved in the January 6th events been charged with insurrection?"
AG GARLAND: "I don't believe so."
GOHMERT: "Well that is the word most used by Democrats here on Capitol Hill."
The protestors were rowdy and disorderly and very likely trespassing in and vandalizing what is mistakenly called “the Peoples’ House.” But an insurrection or revolution? Be serious, it was nothing of the sort.
