It's easy to see why someone might be offended by the term terrorist. This term has been a popular one in recent decades. We would like to believe it wouldn't be used here. No domestic terror. Hodges stated that there were no homegrown threats.He continued reading a U.S. statute. It defines domestic terrorism as activities that involve acts that are dangerous to human lives and that "appear to be intended or intended to intimidate, coerce or influence a civilian population or to affect the policy of government by intimidation ou coercion." On Jan. 6, Trump supporters stormed Capitol to protest the congressional certification that Donald Trump lost the Electoral College to President Joe Biden.Officer Aquilino Gnell echoed Hodges' sentiment and said, "I don't know how you would label an attack on officers as a tour." Responders also defended the Capitol Building.Clyde, a Georgia Republican lawmaker, was captured on camera barricading the House chamber doors during riot. His comparison of the siege with a tourist visit drew harsh Democratic criticism. In May, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called this a "sick" comparison.Later, Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who was a Capitol Police Officer, compared the insurrection with an attack by a hitman. He implicitly pointed a finger at Trump for inciting this deadly insurrection.Dunn stated that a hitman who is hired kills someone. "But the hitman does not go to jail; the person who hired him does."Dunn said that Jan. 6 was the day of an attack and that a hitman sent them. He was referring to claims that Trump incited Jan. 6's riot by telling his supporters that they should fight like hell at a rally that took place earlier that day.Dunn stated to lawmakers that he wanted to see the bottom of this."Clydes' specific comments that you wouldn't realize the TV footage was from January 6th were part of an apparent effort to minimize or shift blame for Capitol insurrection. Trump has called the insurrection a "lovefest", a term that was rejected by the officers at Tuesday's hearing as they described the brutal attacks they were subject to from the rioters.Tuesday's hearing was the first to be held by the select committee since Jan. 6. It was attended only by two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.). Pelosi named Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) and Liz Cheney (Wyo.) to the panel. Pelosi and her caucus rejected legislation that would have established an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection and write a report. This led to Senate Republicans rejecting the bill.After Pelosi rejected Jim Jordan from Ohio and Jim Banks from Indiana, Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader, later withdrew his choice of lawmakers for the investigation."Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger are being called courageous heroes. That is a great idea. But why would they? They told the truth. Is it difficult to tell the truth? Dunn asked members of the panel to clarify their views as the hearing neared its conclusion.Dunn said, "I suppose in this America it is." "Use four officers, and we would do January 6th again. We didn't want to stay home, because we knew what was coming. We would be there. That's brave. That is heroic. "So what do I ask you all to do? Get to the bottom of it."
