Newly elected GOP Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) has deleted his personal Twitter account after journos started calling out his tweets on the takeover of the Capitol on January 6.
Via Jamie Dupree, who flagged this one where Rep. Moore said, “Wow we have more arrests for stealing a podium on January 6th than we do for stealing an election November 3rd! Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit, would be places I recommend you start; There is video of evidence of these crimes as well. #ElectionIntegrity Matters”:
