Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday accused the FBI of secret involvement in the January 6 attack. Higgins during the hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray cited their exchange from a previous hearing. "I asked you, ‘Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6, prior to the doors being open?’ You responded. I quote again, ‘I have to be very careful of what I say,’" Higgins recalled, arguing that "we can't get a straight answer" despite a "tremendous amount of evidence."

He is nothing but an embarrassment to Louisiana. His FB page is filled with what sounds like drunken rantings.

Just a quick question, how would one go about embarrassing Louisiana? Seems like a tall order...

It would be very very hard, but Rep Higgins certainly makes it look easy.
