, that he claimed “demolishes” the idea that Jan. 6 constituted a deadly insurrection and that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick’s death the next day resulted from its events, as his family has contended.
The sentiment was echoed by Sen. Kevin Cramer , who noted to NBC News that “when you come into the chambers, when you start opening the members’ desks, when you stand up in their balcony—to somehow put that in the same category as, you know, permitted peaceful protest is just a lie.” “I think the Jan. 6 committee had a partisan view of things, and I’d like to know more about what happened that day and the day before,” Graham said, according to NBC News. “But I’m not interested in whitewashing the COVID lab theory, and I’m not interested in whitewashing Jan. 6.”
