Is there a list of all the congresscritters who were with Gaetz on Wednesday?

Barging into that secure room?

I would like to find out if my own congressman was in that bunch of losers.

I saw a tweet where someone made up a list and indicated who was already allowed to be in the there but I can't find it. Below is all I could find.

from orlandoweekly.com

Republican Whip Steve Scalise, Congressmen Jim Jordan, Mark Walker, Andy Biggs, Lee Zeldin, Mo Brooks, Mark Meadows, Kevin Hern, Paul Gosar, Steve Watkins, Debbie Lesko, Russ Fulcher, Buddy Carter, Steve King, Bill Johnson, Fred Keller, Brian Babin, Ken Buck, Michael Waltz, Ralph Norman, Louie Gohmert, Mark Green, Carol Miller, Vicky Hartzler, Alex Mooney, Jeff Duncan, Drew Ferguson, Gary Palmer, Jody Hice, Duncan Hunter, Ross Spano, Bradley Byrne, David Rouzer, Markwayne Mullin, Randy Weber, Pete Olson, Ron Wright, Scott Perry, Greg Murphy, and Ben Cline.

Looks like Glenn Grothmann wasn't a part of that fiasco.

From what I've read, I think that's a "before list" of people who told Gaetz earlier that they would be there.

But my impression is that many of them chickened out and didn't show up.

I don't know if there is a confirmed list of everyone who was there, although it definitely includes a bunch who were on that list.

Well I counted 40 names on that list and Gaetz would make 41.

But I think I saw somewhere that about two dozen showed up, and also that there were only 7 there when it ended. However I'm not sure about any of these numbers.

If a significant number didn't show up at the start, it could have de-moralized Gaetz and the diehards, and started them on the road to failure.
