    1. @Fireflash — engage in the debate. Leftist name calling doesn’t serve you or your party well. Instead of asking for cancel culture, try to refute the points at hand 👍

    2. Defense⁉️ the police and security personnel couldn’t stop the protesters from walking past open gates and unlocked doors.

    1. Of course it was an inside job. The leader of the inside job was Trump and his accomplices the Republicans and his family including the vampire Giuliani the monster

    2. @Fausto Hernandez That video was clearly from before the rally and riot. The screens show the stage and crowd. Don’t get me wrong, he was and is a criminal and 100% responsible for how the day went, but he’s not watching the riots in the video.

    1. trump its over you have drug your name what ever thats worth an your family threw the mud ! now our country your draft dodgeing an treason your a born loser im scared if you did the right thing you would miss an shoot some else so please move to russia all they want is to peeeeee! on you !

    2. Why police just do not search those ANTIFA people that were there? And arrest Police Officers that start to shot innocent people as soon as ANTIFA left???

    3. @alex Goodmornin innocent people? You mean the people breaking and entering? I am pretty sure that those people were not innocent smashing through glass and jumping through window frames to get in. I mean when someone breaks into a house they are innocent as well right? (Last question was sarcastic)

    1. He conceded yesterday but didn’t have the balls to say Biden’s name. He won’t attend the Inauguration. Great!!

    2. Thank God for that, for if he did resign….Pence could pardon him of many of his federal crimes….including yesterdays insurrection

    3. They are all over social media sights with plans for the Inauguration day as well. I sure hope feds are all over these sights looking at what these crazies are planning and what they are saying. We can not afford to no longer take their words as just blowing off steam. These people are serious.

  1. They were all watching the sh*tshow they started, that’s why they wouldn’t send any help to the Capitol. It was entertainment for trump and his people.

  2. This story shouldn’t end, UNTIL the ones in power who delayed all this are held ACCOUNTABLE…DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!!

    1. @L P you admire bush who killed thousands of americans in 911, then went on to fight invisible terrorists wish resulted in more deaths of americans, wow r u serious, what a joke

  3. this explaination of the situation is concise, accurately backed up with receipts by the people involved, and horriblly laughable

    1. they should have been dealt with a shower of led and metal flying at 60mph. Yet they walked away pretty much unharmed.

    1. If the south seceded, they would starve within a year. The south is mostly welfare recipients.
      The blue states pay for them!

  4. The rioters, being a cover for the real killers who were going after our leaders, is the most frightening of all.

    1. What happened two days ago at the white house plays into the hands of the Democrats…. they couldn’t have hoped for better outcomes…. they were praying for it to happen!!

    2. @Deborah C Very well said Deborah, I myself have in the past days been drawing parallels in my mind between the victims of love scams and those who still believe this ‘stolen election’ lie, who are immediately ready to believe that it was actually BLM and Antifa who ransacked the Capitol, who immediately wrote off Mike Pence as an enemy and a hidden agent of the ‘deep state’ when they heard he refused to declare Trump winner of the election in congress (as if he could really do that), people who still cling to all those untruths after they have been proven false time and time again, and seem to be simply utterly unable to let go of those beliefs.

    3. @Harold 888 OR maybe, Just maybe, trump played his own supporters, and they ended up cucking the whole republican party!

    4. Why police just do not search those ANTIFA people that were there? And arrest Police Officers that start to shot innocent people as soon as ANTIFA left???

    1. With BLM & ANTIFA , The democrat govenors rejected Trumps offer of National Guard.
      MSNBC more fake news as usual

    2. @Ian Worcester no that’s not what happened after the national guard was there a few days then that state government send them away.
      Trump only did that because they were black with his racist self. Wake up so Trump didn’t say yes to troops bro the people were white rioters a

  5. They were allowed to do this, why can’t we see this. It was Trump way of stopping the certification.

  6. More proof that fascists are infiltrated. They have a lot of people bent on backing the extreme right insurrection by looking at the other side.

  7. This was a inside job that’s it that’s all.Why wasn’t they prepared?everyone knew something was going to happen.

    1. Yes, and the literally have footage of police officers opening the barricades to let them in and some officers taking selfies with the rioters inside! Why aren’t they stressing that issue??? When the riots started after Floyd’s killing! They had footage of officers smashing windows and setting up bricks!! Why isn’t this news! The footage is on YouTube and IG! They are ridiculous! They had the man power to control the situation and the purposely allowed this!

    2. LIVE LOVE LAUGH Amen! Also, I didn’t see any black folks in this insurrection act.
      We should be worried the next 13 days………….

    1. @K H They’re still not going to do jack. They want all his Trump supporters no matter how rabid they are to vote for them in the future. It’s just political ambition and pure cowardice.

    2. Why police just do not search those ANTIFA people that were there? And arrest Police Officers that start to shot innocent people as soon as ANTIFA left???

  8. Hopefully the so-called Secretary of Defense together with the so-called President and the rest of the gang will be arrested at some point.
