The mayor of Thomasboro, Illinois apologized for accusing the media of lying about the violence during the Capitol riot attacks.

Republican Mayor Tyler Evans described being at the Capitol building as euphoric and "the most exhilarating thing" in a Facebook video that has now been deleted from Facebook.

Evans admitted to being on the Capitol steps in the video but said he did not breach security or see any violence.

"When I got back to my hotel, I flipped on the news...it's a bunch of bullsh-t," he said in the video.
