GOP Rep. Richard McCormick Admits to 'Unsafe Actions' at Capitol Dome

McCormick went past a security sign and railing, performed pull-ups over 200 feet in the air, and pretended to slide and fall, despite safety concerns.

Rep. Richard McCormick of Georgia admitted to doing pull-ups at the top of the US Capitol Dome, insisting his actions were safe.
McCormick was reported to the Sergeant of Arms for 'unsafe actions' by the Capitol Visitors Center while he was on a tour of the dome.
McCormick went past a sign that read 'no person permitted above this platform under any circumstances' and over a security railing.
The GOP representative then went to the 'Tholos' level of the Capitol dome, where he straddled a railing and — over 200 feet in the air — proceeded to pretend he was sliding and falling.
McCormick's spokesperson Julie Singleton told Politico 'There was a miscommunication and we have apologized.'
