Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), one of the members of Congress to object to electoral votes on Jan. 6, on Friday refuted allegations that he organized and encouraged the storming of the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, noting that some media are “generating ever-more-sensational lies” about him.

“Since January 6, many on the Left and in the media have claimed that I:

• organized the peaceful rally of January 6, planned the unlawful riots that took place,
• led reconnaissance tours of the U.S. Capitol to those scheming to riot,
• funded the rally and the riot.

“All of those allegations are false. I have publicly denied all them,” Biggs said in a statement.
