Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) broke with a number of his Republican congressional colleagues to enthusiastically endorse President Donald Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pay out $1.776 billion to his allies who believe they were unfairly persecuted by the government \u2014 but when a reporter asked him about whether January 6 rioters would be eligible, things went off the rails.<\/p>\n

When asked about “people who assaulted police,” Norman, who is currently running for governor of South Carolina, replied, “Look, January 6 is an issue that was made up in the first place.”<\/p>\n

“People were convicted of assaulting police,” the reporter said.<\/p>\n

“Well, I know,” he said. “That was a staged thing from day one.”<\/p>\n

“What about it was staged?” asked the reporter.<\/p>\n

“Well, you had police officers let people in the building,” said Norman. “We had people who have not been prosecuted, Ray, I forget his name. There’s no excuse for that.”<\/p>\n

“Your Republican colleagues ran for their lives and barricaded themselves in their chamber. Do you think they were acting?” said the reporter.<\/p>\n

“No, there was a riot there, but it was a self-made riot by the members who hate Trump. It was made up,” said Norman.<\/p>\n
