GOP Reps broke off pieces of furniture to use as clubs to defend House Chamber

[Counselor706]

Freshmen Republican congressmen from Texas stayed behind to defend the House Chamber amid the U.S. Capitol siege Wednesday — and even broke off pieces of furniture to use as clubs, according to U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon, one of those who did so.

He noted on Facebook that he witnessed "courage personified" after "the Capitol Police came into the chamber and told us there had been a breach in the Capitol Building."

Fallon added that police "were short handed" and was "SO PROUD" that Rep. Tony Gonzales, Rep. Ronny Jackson, and Rep. Troy Nehls "didn't hesitate!!! We augmented the police and stood our ground! We will never be intimated by any mob, regardless of their motivations."

And then these all American Heroes looked out for themselves and left it to Amy Klobuchar to rescue Tammy Duckworth (who did not have her prosthetics with her)

Mebbe Tammy could lend these brave lads one or two of the 10 medals she won, fighting a real war.

She's got more courage and integrity than the entire Republican caucus put together.
