Newly revealed evidence of the MAGA rioter lounging at Speaker Pelosi’s desk shows he was armed. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on how the impeachment managers at Trump’s trial cited this alleged criminal as part of a much wider plot to attack Pelosi and her staff — and why trials matter for pursuing the full truth. Melber also cites a new Jay-Z song where the artist calls out the hypocrisy of the system. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a trial juror, responds to all of it.

'Feet Up On Your Desk': See MAGA Rioters Rebuked In Powerful New Song | The Beat With Ari Melber
No matter what these republican senators say, not one of them would voluntarily enter a room full of Trump supporters.
They would if there was more money in that room than trump supporters. That’s all they care about in the first place
@6IX Stop!
@BigBad Daddy 100 people🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@evil khor well lets debunk that one shall we. 53% of the uk now identifies as atheist right. 3,372,966, 5.1% of the country are muslims, that leaves the different christian groups and others to squabble over the restnow forgive me if im wrong here, but 53% of the country being atheist, is a bigger number than the 5.1% of muslims.
so if they are trying to take over, its going the wrong way pmsland we need to yell “your doing it wrong!”
sorry i always find it funny when someone spouts that trump lie about the muslims taking over, i think the usa was the only country to be stupid enough to believe him. the uk we found it hilarious. and also if we have been influenced by them, they must have adopted the rainbow flag, cos we ditched the union jack for the rainbow flag a few years back. even our police cars have the rainbow flag on them in blackpool 🙂 and considering the amount we drink, id say
Leonaza7: Exactly
I didn’t see Republican in the Capitol approaching the terrorists and telling them to go home during the riot…seems like they would have done that since they were apparently non-threatening. 😒😏
Lol! They wouldn’t dare! Especially Mike Pence! 🤣

Oh but they don’t have good surveillance the man can put his they took pictures this was all a photo op to rile people give me a break that their surveillance is that bad
Those Republicans were under desk
@Colleen Dobbyn 😁👍
*Ron Johnson:* The 9/11 -plain- Plane Hijackers only had box cutters, not guns, so they were all unarmed as well.
@cham fefe _F**K YOU_
We hardly know each other. Why would you want to F**K me?
@2 0
Stop trolling son👌
@WARRIOR OF GOD Yes, but not as a mob of riotus thugs. Don’t be dishonest about what Jan. 6 was all about. It was to illegally subvert a legal election. And don’t bore me with extraordinary claims unless you can show extraordinary proof for them.
@WARRIOR OF GOD Satan got your tongue, Pontius?
We’re still waiting for your home address because we wanna come by and take “Big Dumps ®” in front of your house.
TRUMP 666:45
_You’re Very Special, WOGGY_
@WARRIOR OF GOD sounds just like you were describing trump
There is no forgive & forget, these ppl deserve nothing but our indifference to what they think /feel.
That’s called consequences, not karma & certainly not cancel culture.

I agree with you 100%….America goes around the world preaching Democracy but America has not overcome extremism in it’s own backyard?
Never Forgive, Never Forget = NFNF = NF².
Hey, if the right can live a life centered around slogans, so can we.
Who with out sin. No body we don’t know what we would do tomorrow ,what the man do was wrong wrong we should have respect for each other and love each other God is love 🏆🏅🥰😍🤗 have a wonderful and blessed time jesus is coming soon 🙏
@Eva Walters Loon.
I guess Ron Johnson missed most of the weapons by only including firearms. Well, firearms were there too. Does that clarify Sen. Johnson’s vision? I doubt it. He and Graham continue to embarrass every patriotic American every time they speak.
Ron Johnson(tool) reminds me of Bill Fagerbakke as Dauber on the series Coach– only mean and not as smart. Mr. Fagerbakke also voices Patrick Star in the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants… and again, I ask you… I’m sensing a pattern, here 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Yeah Johnson sure did miss the train because the insurrectionists had homemade pipe bombs
@ajc bng Ron Johnson = Patrick Star. Yep, perfect set of twins.
@Phil Groves Yes. The intellect is the same. But Patrick is funny and Ron is nauseating. 🤢😂😂
@ajc bng Yep.
What a stupid criminal! Not too smooth, ex lax 🤣
I think this guy is like 70
so don’t wait till he dies of old
age before you prosecute , make sure his last days are spent in prison
An ARK inbred is all he is…lol
Taken her mail is a Federal charge, by the United States Postal Service. They should be taken part in his list of charges.
Officer Eugene Goodman saved so many lives that day.
@Ken Albertsen it is called de-escalation. A tried and tested strategy that worked.
@Ken Albertsen in the forehead. Spot on. They only do this to unarmed Black people. Apparently
Yes he did
@Elle Bee That’s real.
@Ken Albertsen I would have shot someone in the chest.
If they keep coming, keep shooting.
In the chest. Not the leg’s.
Blood on the flag that person took into the Speaker’s office. Blood on his hands.
@Chris Zinanni Then you’ve wasted everyone’s time with your comment. Narcissist.
@Mimzy Jinx there’s absolutely no comparison! They tried to overthrow our government! For a wanna be fascist! But one thing I know is that you don’t fight with the government! Romans 13:1-2 says: “Obey the government, for God is the One who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow.”
@I’m a Cat how about that The answer’s very simple. Both sides must condemn violence unconditionally, when it happens and punish those who participate in it. The same standard must be applied to all. Why is this so hard?
@I’m a Cat how about that Why doesn’t BLM choose an interaction in which the police are doing that? They only chose interactions where there is no expression of racial animus. Why do they rely on so many false narratives. Even after the truth is established? These are not the actions of a group with admirable motives. It’s what you would expect from any grifting outfit. BLM has made millions. 71% has gone to salaries and benefits. None of it has gone to rebuild the communities they destroy.
@Jay Gray I don’t really believe anything you say.
‘You can’t put me in jail I’m white’. CLANK.
Wtf are you talking about 🤣
@Rustin Cole_W we talking about the gift that keeps on giving😂😂. Trump and republican politicians.
When they do lock them up, they get special treatment. “Send me to a vegan facility.” 😞
20-life my guess. Let’s see that arrogance when he’s sentenced.
I think we are all gonna be disappointed in their “punishment”
@para bellum unfortunately you’re probably correct.
Don’t Forget – Josh Hawley also had his feet up and was completely disengaged, flaunting his disregard for his duty as a juror. His disrespect should not be ignored…
We’re watching him with our feet up and just waiting.. 👀
Benedict Arnold. 🌃
Hawley is pathetic
@E H h big deal, is she my better than all the people,and police who were killed in rioting in our cities…
I agree. Germany here
Not to mention Dave Chappelle talked about how the Rioters got away with that but these are the same people who hate Colin Kaepernick saying he was disrespecting the American flag in fact the NFL is still mad at that team about it
NFL is a big part of the problem! Players need to revolt put nfl out of business and start a more mixed race based organization or join the xfl. It’s owned by minorities now.
The power is in voting and who the people support. Media, NFL, and ALL old institutions in america r not for the people and equality. Our only hope is to support and sing the praises of all the Kaepernick types and not support those that don’t use their platform to influence positive change. If we the people keep supporting people we shouldn’t we r the fools and it’s our own fault how it plays out. Silence is betrayal for rich, poor, strong, or weak equally. Stay woke 👍
These terrorists must be locked up for the maximum allowed.
People need to know, that there is a big price to pay for what they did and do.

I need to read more from this Voltaire guy 😉
Sounds like Biden needs to make sure he has cleaned Trump’s people out of law enforcement.
Do not forget about the saboteur DeJoy who ruined the post office. WTH is he still here?
And congress, senate, everywhere. Clean house. Just like Dems do everytime. No wonder it takes so long to implement change! All we do is clean!
@Jay Gray that’s what I’m so concerned about, also what has been going on he last 4 years, hearing that guy disrespecting everyone, screaming his head off, imagine kids and young teenagers listening to this sick creature, can’t figure out why the Senate stood up for that behavior, where is our beautiful America?
The military as well!
@SHAMBLES 申
True!
And dispute all this they let Trump go scott free. Sad and embarrassing for the real and true citizens of the US.
Cowards will send fools into the fray..
Surprised?
@Lost Pony I shouldnt be
He will not go scot-freewe all knew that he was not going to be impeached because of Mitch McConnell and the cowards in the Republican Senate but believe me, he will be devastated financially by the lawsuits brought against him
Well, the stable genius Ron Johnson said nobody was “armed” and it wasn’t really an insurrection. So it’s all good. 😒
jUST LIKE HIM, NONE OF THEM YAHOOS SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED BAIl.
