The House Jan. 6 Committee heard testimony Tuesday from a former Oath Keeper and another rioter who participated in the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, insisting they were there because they were following the calls of former President Donald Trump.
Stephen Ayres pleaded guilty last month to disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building.
Ayres told the committee he hadn't planned to join the attack on the U.S. Capitol, that he only went to Washington, DC to watch the "Stop the Steal" rally. He said it was former President Donald Trump's calls to supporters at the rally that got him fired up to do more. #shorts
