Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) said Monday that he saw QAnon-curious freshman Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) leading a “large group” through a tour of the Capitol in the days before the riots. Cohen said he does not know whether anyone in the crowd later took part in the violent Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Democrats have alleged that a GOP colleague gave a “reconnaissance” tour of the Capitol the day before the mob stormed the building. Over the weekend, Boebert denied she was the member—even though no one had accused her by name—saying she did not guide “any outside groups of ‘insurrectionists.’”
Speaking on CNN Monday, Cohen—who is on the Judiciary Committee—said that Rep. John Yarmuth had “refreshed my recollection yesterday” that they had seen Boebert “taking a group of people for a tour sometime after the 3rd and before the 6th.” Boebert has not yet publicly responded to Cohen’s comments.

Two interesting things regarding this. 1. She said a couple of days ago that she had only given a tour to her family. 2. Since Rep. Cohen’s interview o this morning, she hasn’t addressed this at all which I find curious in light of the fact she so vigorously defended herself when her name wasn’t even mentioned.

Unless someone has tampered, they have her and her group on tape (CCTV) from internal cameras. Maybe she has just realized this and that they weren’t all family. And anyone they can ID and had a cell phone with them, they will be able to see if they were in the building on the 6th or not. People with more ego than brains don’t seem to think about those things.
