Dec 14, 2022: Politico: ​Come on down? House GOP weighs the right price to topple a speaker
One Freedom Caucus member who is trying to find middle ground with leadership, Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), called the ability to vote on deposing a speaker “incredibly important,” given that the House leader “works for the members of Congress that elected” him or her.
“It’s part of what holds the most senior leadership in Congress accountable,” Clyde said of the motion to vacate the chair.

Oct 2, 2021:
Texas lawmakers Louie Gohmert, Randy Weber, Van Taylor & Dan Crenshaw have all been fined this year for dodging Capitol metal detectors that were put up after the Jan 6 riot.
All four of these congressmen knew the rioters weren't coming for them, anyway, because the rioters were only going to confront the people who respected laws and the Democratic process....and hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.......attack and kill policemen........wave Confederate and Trump 2020 flags... ......you know, like how Rep. Andrew Clyde and Paul Gosar do whenever they go on a normal tourist visit to the Capitol.
I can count on zero fingers the number of times I went to the US Capitol as a tourist and decided to hang a vice president....

​Andrew Scott Clyde (born November 22, 1963) is an American politician and gun store owner from the state of Georgia. A Republican, Clyde represents Georgia's 9th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, assuming office in 2021. The district serves a large swath of exurban and rural territory north of Atlanta, including Gainesville, Toccoa, Dawsonville, and Dahlonega.

Rep. Clyde did not vote in support of the bipartisan commission proposal to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection.
June 17, 2021: New York Magazine: ​Andrew Clyde Challenging Marjorie Taylor Greene for Mantle of Most Extremist Georgian in Congress
​But there were other political beasts roaming through the hills last summer, including both runoff candidates for the Northeast Georgia House seat being abandoned by Doug Collins, who was busy savaging Kelly Loeffler in a Senate primary as a RINO swamp creature (a line of attack Loeffler parried in part by securing an endorsement from Greene). The one who got the most attention was state legislator Matt Gurtler, a Ron Paul acolyte who seemed uncomfortably cozy with white supremacists. But the candidate who beat him was gun dealer Andrew Clyde, whose claim to fame was a legal crusade against the IRS (or, as its agents are sometimes known in Appalachia, the “revenuers”). Clyde styled himself as a MAGA bravo, a Second Amendment absolutist, and a proponent of a total no-exceptions ban on abortions. At the same time, without irony, he described himself as someone who was “standing up to big government.” But these being fairly standard Republican positions at the moment, it was not yet clear that the new representative from the Ninth District of Georgia would threaten Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mantle as the most extremist member of his state’s congressional agenda.
Nov 3, 2020: Gainesville Times: Andrew Clyde becomes newest Republican to represent 9th District in US House
​
Republican Andrew Clyde handily defeated Democratic challenger Devin Pandy Tuesday, Nov. 3, to become the U.S. House 9th District representative. 
“It was a great win,” Clyde said. “I’m very humbled by the voters of the 9th District and their strong support of our campaign and the platform on which I stand. I’m very honored by it and look forward to representing the entire 9th District in Washington, D.C.” 
Clyde will succeed U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, who vacated his seat to seek the U.S. Senate seat held by Kelly Loeffler. 
October 13, 2020: Dawson County News: U.S. House 9th District preview: What motivated Andrew Clyde to run for Congress
Battles with the IRS did more than open Andrew Clyde’s eyes to the ways of government. They motivated the Athens gun store owner to embark on a political campaign of his own
“It gave me a great idea of how Congress works – the ins and outs of it,” said Clyde, a Jackson County resident, during a recent interview with The Times in Jefferson.
“The fact that I was able to accomplish this gave me the courage to say, ‘If a private citizen can do this, then what can a member of Congress who is committed do,’” said Clyde, who is seeking a two-year term as U.S. House 9th District representative, replacing Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, who is running for U.S. Senate.
Sept 8, 2021: Chicago Daily Herald: ​Give committee what it needs to investigate Jan. 6 riot
​"If you didn't know the TV footage was from Jan. 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit."
-- Rep. Andrew Clyde, May 12, 2021
