Dumb things conservatives say:

the Sergeant–at–Arms shall, ‘‘maintain order under the direction of the Speaker or other presiding officer.’’

Have either of them refuted her version?

Yes. The Capitol Police chief is the one I quoted earlier saying he made several requests and all were denied. My bad earlier I said DC police chief, I meant Capitol Police Chief.

Seems pretty believable that they are solely in charge of security.

That is clearly talking about decorum during a session as it says if you continue reading or if you had provided the full quote.

The primary duty of the Sergeant–at–Arms is to maintain order in the House Chamber. Pursuant to clause 3(a) of rule II, the Sergeant–at–Arms shall, ‘‘maintain order under the direction of the
Speaker or other presiding officer.’’(17) The Speaker may direct the Sergeant–at–Arms to present the mace (the symbol of the authority of the Sergeant–at–Arms) to enforce order in the Chamber.(18) The Sergeant–at–Arms
is tasked with strictly enforcing the rules of decorum

Instead of wasting time on the January 6 hooligans, I'd rather the Democrats use their majority to focus on real issues effecting most of the American people. The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in over 12 years, and millions of people still can't afford healthcare. And climate change which is getting worse every year while they don't do shit to address it. Wildfires in the west are worse than last year, we've got more extreme storms causing damage, and the heat waves are getting worse too. But I don't expect much from any politicians these days. They all do what their rich donors want, not what the people want.

The thing I can't quite figure out is if these people say this stuff and actually believe it, or if they're really such horrible people that they would rather try to get an election advantage out of an armed insurrection that was gunning for them than to hold people accountable and help keep this from happening again

"armed insurrection"




You still have a lot of work to do if you have any hopes of reclaiming your belt.

Read further down.

The Sergeant–at–Arms maintains a close relationship with the Capitol Police,(36) as part of the office’s general security responsibilities. The Sergeant–at–Arms sits on the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the Capitol Police ‘‘to advance coordination between the Capitol Police and the Sergeant–at–Arms . . . in their law enforcement capacities.’’

It isn't just decorum.

You didn't continue reading either, did you?

That was in reference to Tgo's quote, what you posted is much further down and is a different part of their duties. The working with the speaker part is specific to decorum.

The Speaker of the House can straight up remove the Sergeant at Arms at will. He definitely answers to her.
