Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) had nothing but weasel words in response to being fact-checked by C-SPAN host Greta Brawner after he tried to lie about the crimes committed by those that Trump has promised to pardon.

Biggs made an appearance on the morning call-in show Washington Journal this Friday, and his first two calls were pretty brutal.

Taking calls from viewers during an appearance on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, a rite of passage for guests of the program, the MAGA lawmaker was soon grilled by callers over former President Donald Trump’s promise to pardon Capitol rioters.

“Trump wants to pardon the traitors that have been convicted of seditious conspiracy? Come on! What the hell’s wrong with you Republicans?!” one caller from Oregon exclaimed.

“I appreciate the call, and I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying, but I think you’re talking about the former president saying if he gets elected he’d issue some pardons or clemency to some of the people arrested and prosecuted on Jan. 6,” Biggs answered.

“Not all were convicted of seditious treason. In fact, none were! So that’s important to understand,” he confidently declared. “The second thing I would say is that many of them were convicted of misdemeanor trespass. And I think that’s important to understand as well.”

The next caller, meanwhile, continued to grill Biggs over his sympathetic attitude towards the insurrection and the MAGA rioters behind it. In this instance, the viewer from Mississippi asked if those who “conspired” with Trump and ex-Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark should be “held accountable,” further wondering why Biggs requested his own pardon following the riots.

Biggs responded by lying about requesting a pardon which was followed by Brawner fact-checking him over the seditious conspiracy lie. “Congressman, USA Today had this headline back in November of 2022 that Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers founder, was found guilty of seditious conspiracy,” she replied. Biggs then responded that he "didn’t follow that case" before Brawner moved on to the next caller.

These clowns have no defense for any of their actions, so they have to lie about them when cornered. Pathetic.
