CNN reported the other day that Twitchy regular Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) “grabbed a crowbar” before leaving his office on January 6 when rioters took over the Capitol, which, to be honest, was pretty awesome.
Alas, it wasn’t true.

So close!
that's slightly different . . . https://t.co/8Z4vAuGNIP

But we really would’ve respected Rep. Lieu if he did have a crowbar in his office for just such a situation:
