While You Were There
Fortunately, America has a Constitution, which contains the Bill of Rights. This is the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Each of us possess the freedom of speech. This is Rep. Andrew Clyde’s reflection of January 6th, “You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from January 6, you’d actually think it was a normal tourist visit.” He does have the freedom of speech, and he used it.
Clyde exercising his freedom of speech
However, the First Amendment gives the press that same freedom. Tom Williams, a photographer for Roll Call, apparently was a tourist visiting the Capitol on January 6th.
Williams was just enjoying a typical tourist jaunt through the Peoples’ House while taking photos. During his tourist stroll, he snapped this photo.
Andrew Clyde in the center of the photo; he’s the only one without a mask.
This video is an interview of Tom Williams by Brianna Keilar of CNN. Now, either Clyde or Williams possesses lying eyes. You decide, but remember the song by the Eagles, “You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes. ”
This video is of Stephen Colbert addressing Clyde.
