The footage captures the man singling out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, before saying, “We’re coming for you.”
A man who took part in a tour of the U.S. Capitol complex on Jan. 5, 2021, with Rep. Barry Loudermilk was captured on video hurling threats at Democratic lawmakers during the insurrectionist riot the next day.
Just a day earlier, according to the committee, the same man “took photos of hallways, tunnels, and staircases within the Capitol complex” during the tour with Rep. Loudermilk. Their behavior, the committee said, “raises concerns about their activity and intent” inside the Capitol complex. House Democrats have repeatedly raised questions about whether GOP lawmakers aided Jan. 6 rioters by allowing them to scout out the Capitol building ahead of that day’s attack.In a January 2021 letter to the U.S. Capitol Police, more than two dozen Democratic lawmakers asked for an “immediate investigation” into “an extremely high number of outside groups” visiting the Capitol complex the day before the riot.
