Lauren Boebert offers Jan. 6 rioters 'guided tours' of Capitol on night of their release
An angry Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) showed up at the D.C. Central Detention Facility (D.C. Jail) on Tuesday to offer guided tours of the U.S. Capitol to Jan. 6 rioters who President Donald Trump pardoned.
In an impromptu news conference, Boebert demanded a quick release of "the January 6th hostages."
"I regret what the media did to lie about the events of that day," she bellowed. "I regret that the American people weren't allowed to know how many federal agents were present in the crowd."
"I regret the livelihoods that were lost, the time that has been spent locked up unjustly, the amount of time in court and on probation and defending yourself against something that they shouldn't have been defended, had to defend."
Boebert suggested that Trump's election proved that the rioters were innocent.
"And if there's another regret, I'm sure it's only on the Democrats who are regretting that they didn't just shut up because now they're finding out," she said. "They messed around, if you will, for four years, and now they're finding out."

The lawmaker said she had to leave for the Capitol but would return to the jail to see the rioters released.
"I want to see them for their release, and you know, I'll be the first member of Congress to offer them a guided tour in the Capitol tonight," she insisted.
