After Rep. Lauren Boebert offered pardoned January 6 rioters “a guided tour in the Capitol,” Denver news anchor Kyle Clark called her out live on air.

Trump’s executive order upended what had been the largest prosecution in Justice Department history, freeing individuals captured on camera brutally assaulting police officers as well as leaders of far-right extremist groups convicted of plotting violent efforts to halt the peaceful transfer of power after his 2020 election defeat.

Boebert appeared outside the jail in Washington, D.C. where many insurrectionists were held and pushed conspiracy theories about federal agents goading the attack, saying:

“The American people weren’t allowed to know how many federal agents were in the crowd. I regret that the tens of thousands of hours that was recorded at the Capitol was not released immediately to the American public.”

“I regret that the livelihoods that were lost, the time of being locked up unjustly, the amount of time in court and on probation and defending oneself, that shouldn’t have had to be defended, had to defend.”

She concluded with this jaw-dropping revelation:

“I’ll be the first member of Congress to offer them a guided tour of the Capitol.”

Boebert’s statements prompted criticism from Clark, who said the following on his program:

“Feedback tonight by text about congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s offer to give a Capitol tour to the January 6 rioters. They say, ‘Didn’t those criminals already get a tour of the Capitol?'”

“I suppose they did but it’s probably tough to get an appreciation for the architecture and history when you have to step over the bodies of police officers you’ve just assaulted.”

Many criticized Boebert and praised Clark’s remarks.

Boebert’s offer of a guided tour is notable given she’s come under fire for a similar matter before.

Allegations Boebert gave a “large tour” prior to the insurrection surfaced after the attack, coming shortly after authorities announced they would investigate whether lawmakers gave rioters a tour of the Capitol building ahead of time, compromising security.

In the week after the attack, Representative Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, said he saw Boebert “taking a group of people for a tour sometime after the 3rd [of January] and before the 6th [the day of the attack].”

He said he did not know whether any of the individuals who were with Boebert that day later participated in the attack.

In October 2021, Rolling Stone published an article stating several supporters of former President Trump who helped plan the insurrection had multiple planning sessions with senior White House staffers and Republican members of Congress.

Sources who spoke to the magazine said they met with several high-profile Trump acolytes, including Representatives Paul Gosar (Arizona), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia), Madison Cawthorn (North Carolina) and Boebert.

Organizers claim Gosar promised “blanket pardons” to anyone who participated in the attack, adding they “would talk to Boebert’s team, Cawthorn’s team, Gosar’s team like back to back to back to back.”
