Lauren Boebert Offers Capitol Tour to Jan. 6 Rioters

Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert has invited a group of recently pardoned January 6 rioters to the Capitol for a tour.

She promised to be the first member of Congress to give a tour to the “hostages,” as she and President Donald Trump call them, according to The Independent.

Boebert, clad in a bright red winter coat outside a Washington D.C. jail where rioters were held, said one of the only things she regrets about Jan. 6 is “what the media did to lie about the events of that day.”

She also parroted the debunked claim that two dozen FBI informants present among the protesters on Jan. 6 were undercover agents.

Boebert continued by bemoaning the perceived unfairness directed at the recently pardoned rioters, who were still waiting to be released. She complained about the time and “paperwork” required to set the rioters free.

She went on to assert that pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters was part of the “mandate [President Trump] received overwhelmingly from America” as a result of his election win in November.

Boebert also said Democrats likely wish they had not pursued Jan. 6-related prosecutions, saying the now regret “that they didn’t just shut up” about the riots.

Boebert has been a long-time supporter of the MAGA movement, Trump, and the Jan. 6 rioters. She was an earlier proponent of the widely discredited idea that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
