'Assault on my reputation': Rep. Andy Biggs lashes out at left, media over Capitol riot allegations

[JonLP24]

Rep. Andy Biggs hit back at his political foes and the media in an extended statement late Friday intended to establish he did nothing to incite the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Biggs cast the recent coverage of him as political, defamatory and likened it what he views as the unfair treatment endured by former President Donald Trump.

"This assault on my reputation is difficult to watch. The Left’s lies have resulted in death threats against my family and me, as well as several other conservative Members of Congress who’ve been similarly defamed."

Much of Biggs' recent scrutiny stems from a videotaped statement by Ali Alexander, who helped organize the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, which was one of several that brought together Trump supporters on Jan. 6.

But, he deserves all the political shrapnel thrown his way. And investigation.
