Rep. Schiff: I Have ‘Profound Concerns’ Over Safety Of Congress Members | The Last Word | MSNBC
I probably sound crazy but I’m worried that you can see the kid in the picture behind Schiff. People are insane.
That’s actually a photo of me. He used to be my table tennis coach. Nice guy, Adam.
meeee tooooo katie
@HMQ -ha! So there, no harm, no foul, people watch far too many movies and mini series nowadays it seems, life’s all about nonsense instead of reality, thanks for the check.
You people are nuts.
Yeah, Right!!!!
People in USA need protection from others in USA so sad when people can’t control their anger.
That’s why you should buy a gun and defend the 2nd.
@Michael Lee no help needed, just can’t vote for democratic party socialism
If only it were a simple matter of “anger”.
omg like this summer as cities burned and peoples businesses looted and burned- 4 yrs of lying schiff calling trump a foreign agent and Russian collusion, he said he had proof but it was all lies!! crazy people on both sides and they are all wrong call them all out not both sides are more about there political party and gaining power than helping the American people. wake up they divide us to increase there power!!!!
@Michael Lee more than enough according to whom? I will be fine but my grandchildren most likely will experience an anti capitalist society, dependant on big gov. Look at the effort the left is taking to protect our self from our self already. Oops I said grandchildren, some leftist putts already has a bill to remove any gender identifying language. The left will eventually come for our guns, money, and identity. Its worrisome that any conservative thought needs to be purged and silenced by the media and society.
Yeah, dont let the school shooters into the capital with their weapons anymore.
Republicans are now refusing to enter thru metal detectors in Congress. What do they have to hide?
@George March better yet, if they won’t go thru the metal detector have them removed from the building. You, I, basically everyone but law enforcement on official business it’s a crime to carry a firearm (or any deadly weapon) into a federal building. Subject to 1 year prison and a fine up to 250,000$ and if it’s brought in with the intent or used for another crime it adds a 5 year sentence.
Elected officials should have to follow the same rules they enforce on we the people. I personally think that any law congress passes that excludes themselves should be unconstitutional. After all, this is supposed to be a government represented by our citizens, here to represent the citizens.
Then, they can simply be told that they are fired. Lock them out, so when the next set of protestors come, the military can shoot the treasonous GOP members too!
lies from a liar
It’s a good thing Democrats aren’t becoming totalitarians or anything.
@Heavy John Robbie good thing the Republican Party hasn’t turned into the party supportive of dictatorship and seditious insurrection or anything. LoL
Impeachment: Trump? Oh, he’s my clingy boyfriend.
Republicans are complaining that they now have to go through metal detectors at the Capitol. They can’t be expected to live like the rest of us. 🙄
no reason to complain unless you were planning something shady.
Who told Schiff he or she “know these people and can talk to these people?” FBI needs to talk to that Congress member. Why didn’t the self assured Republican get from under the desk and go talk to their friends? Because that Congress person was full of it. They have blood on their hands because they kept repeating lies about the election to these domestic terrorists.
In my opinion Trump put his representatives who knew that helps him and he had many in his hand, with fear? With black mail? Corruption?? Who knows 😏.
Chickens!!!!
Jim Jordan!!!!
All they have to say is that the Election had no widespread fraud and that it is all on Trump!! Well ok, that would mean Republicans need to TELL THE TRUTH, oh yea, maybe that isn’t the truth THEY KNEW there wasn’t any fraud!!
Best summary of our current situation: be careful of your neighbor: he/she/both – may need to take you out. A result of Trump-ian desire. Our U.S. Capitol was attacked, by Republicans. Good luck in your own home.
IAll Democrat felt disrespected and under threat. Trump kicked free speech out of his fund raking gatherings .Free speech isn’t free when it cost liives. In my opinion
Implement tough Safety measures at Capitol and everywhere of goverment buildings
They probably did know those people. They were probably deeply involved in this coup.
DEAR MY SUPPORTER, YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. JUST LIKE ME, I AM IMPEACHED AGAIN TODAY.👹
How hasn’t Trump blamed Obama for the insurrection and the death of 5 people plus the reason he got impeached again
Former president Donald j Trump – the greatest of all time in his unwavering commitment to be impeached more than any other president in US history
FBI needs to issue arrest warrants to all complicit in ordering the charge to fight, lives were lost!
He shld be worried. Some Capitol police looked really scared and we know some are involved in the Riots. They better drain the swamp of those bad guys on Capitol police force.
I also found a respect for certain Republicans who chose not to be corrupt.
Never voting for any unamerican republican as long as i live
WHY is the REPUBLICAN PARTY not considered a TERRORIST GROUP????
