Mikie Sherrill Claims Republicans May Have Led ‘Reconnaissance’ Tours of Capitol the Day Before Riots

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) made the shocking allegation against unnamed Republican lawmakers during a live webcast Tuesday night.

A Democratic congresswoman says she saw Republican lawmakers giving tours of the Capitol building a day before last Wednesday’s insurrection and she claims those members of the public could have been potential rioters doing “reconnaissance for the next day.” Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) made the shocking allegation during a live webcast Tuesday night while explaining her reasons for backing the impeachment of President Donald Trump and the removal of his enablers in Congress. She didn’t name any specific Republican lawmakers, but called out “members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on Jan. 5.” Sherrill didn’t offer any more details.
