Clyde, who represents Georgia’s deeply conservative 9th Congressional District, is a former Navy officer and gun store owner who entered Congress in 2021 and is closely aligned with President Donald Trump. He is perhaps most well known nationally for downplaying the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, at one point describing it as resembling a “normal tourist visit,” even as he later acknowledged barricading his office doors to keep rioters out. In Congress, Clyde has built a profile through culture war messaging and opposition to what he calls “woke ideology.”

What a shitty, useless person.

Seems he's accurately representing his constituents so most of them probably are too.
