Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, explained that Democrats, Like Nancy Pelosi, have weaponized the Capitol Police in the January 6th witch hunt. According to Nehls, Capitol Police broke into his office under the claim that his ‘door was open’ and that was suspicious. Nehls says that they reported his dry erase board, where he drafts his ideas noting that the things he had written down were also ‘suspicious’.
The Representative then said that he was being targeted for being too vocal about the death of Ashli Babbitt—The military veteran shot dead by Capitol Police during the protest in the Capitol.
“I’m being targeted right now. And I believe that Nancy Pelosi is weaponizing the U.S. Capitol Police to investigate me, to try to silence me, intimidate me, and quite honestly, to destroy me,” Nehls explained.
Partial Transcript:
REP. TROY NEHLS: I’ve exposed [Jan. 6] and I’ve been very vocal about it. I’ve been vocal, too, even on your program a few months back about the death of Ashli Babbitt and questioning why Lt. Byrd’s investigation did not go to a grand jury. So this really doesn’t surprise me. Quite honestly, I’m being targeted right now. And I believe that Nancy Pelosi is weaponizing the U.S. Capitol Police to investigate me, to try to silence me, intimidate me, and quite honestly, to destroy me.
Well, the claim is that they discovered one of my office doors wide open on a Saturday afternoon. The officer entered my office and said, you know, to check to see if anybody was there [who] shouldn’t be there and saw suspicious writings on my whiteboard, where is where I draft my legislative proposals. Couple days later, I’ve got these secret agents — secret agents from the Capitol Police — knocking on my office door, questioning my staff — one of my staffers — as to the language on that board. Why was there body armor written on your board? Interrogating this staffer, asking him questions related to a handwritten map of the Rayburn Office Building, which is an office building for members of Congress and the “X” on it. I mean, absolutely silly, absolutely ludicrous. Why were the Capitol Police inside my office investigating me? And I was under criminal investigation. The chief of police, Manger, … he’s downplaying this, but I’m telling you they’re coming after anyone [who] has a dissenting point of view, anybody [who] doesn’t agree with them.
