Congressman Clyde Corrects the Record on the Insurrection

Jerry Bradley

Septemmber 19, 2021

I stand by my statement as I said it.

The assault was not a revolt,

and we cannot call it that. To do so

is a bald-faced lie.  If you didn’t know 

the tv footage was from January 6th,

you would think it a normal tourist visit.

Furthermore, I never said your wife

had a mole on her butt.  I said

it felt like she did.
