During a Thursday exchange with a reporter, South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman claimed the 2021 riot that injured over 140 officers and delayed election certification was 'made up' from the start, citing unproven ideas about police letting people in. The event saw a mob breach the Capitol, cause $2.7 million in damage, and lead to one death by police shooting, four medical emergencies, and later officer deaths including suicides; over 1,000 charged individuals have pleaded guilty or been convicted. Lawmakers like Rep. Ted Lieu and Sen. Chris Murphy rebuked Norman sharply, while the timing coincided with a lawsuit by two Jan. 6-defending officers against a new fund for those claiming political prosecutions.
