'This is because of you!'As the House select committee begins investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump, one key line of inquiry will be the role Republican members of Congress played in helping set the stage for the violence.
On Friday, Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., recounted how he vented his anger at Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., as the rioters stormed the Capitol and halted the certification of the Electoral College vote. In a video interview posted to Twitter by the Recount, Phillips recalled that Rep. Gosar, from Arizona, was objecting to the Arizona slate of electors when a Capitol Police officer announced that we should take cover.
Phillips said he stood up at the back of the gallery, on the second floor of the House chamber, and at that moment, I simply shouted out at the top of my lungs, This is because of you! I screamed it.
Audio of Phillipss outburst was captured on video as members led by Gosar and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had begun debating a challenge to Arizonas 2020 election results.
