Fact checking claims January 6 was not an armed insurrection
CNN
The question of whether rioters were armed on January 6 has been among the most debated issues surrounding the insurrection -- with some Republicans claiming the assailants were not armed, despite court documents alleging otherwise.
During Tuesday's House select committee hearing on January 6, we got fresh details and first-hand accounts from four police officers who came face to face with rioters and the weapons they brought, once again debunking this false narrative. Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, one of two Republicans Speaker Nancy Pelosi chose to serve on the committee, ridiculed the idea that January 6 "was not an armed insurrection" and asked the four officers testifying to respond to that claim.More Related News
