As a clearer picture emerges after the shock and shame of Jan 6th, here are three pieces of video every Congressional Republican should have to watch as they think about the coming days and their places in history: 1/
1. Capitol police officer nearly crushed to death by the President’s mob, as it performs a coordinated ‘heave ho’ assault against a phalanx of officers bravely struggling to hold the line. The full video shows a much longer struggle to push them back. It was damn close. https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1347749675777011714
2. MAGA Mob, having been incited by Trump, along w multiple other Trumps, Giuliani, Mo Brooks et al, marches to the Capitol chanting “HANG MIKE PENCE”, the President’s own VP and presiding officer of the Senate, at that moment in Joint Session in his role to certify the vote. https://twitter.com/exportedfrommi/status/1347763885646827522
I intended to include as the third piece the President later that afternoon repeating his false claims and grievances to the mob before saying “Go home. We love you. You’re very special.” But everyone saw that. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/donald-trump-capitol-mob/index.html
Or his incitement to the mob that morning, trashing Pence, claiming he’d march on the Capitol with them before in actuality headed back to watch and enjoy his American Carnage on TV while they did his dirty work. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/justice-department-wanted-to-charge-violent-rioters-with-sedition-then-trump-rally-happens/65-ea6dcc21-3567-4404-aca6-dae30dd16da8
3. But instead I think they should watch this video of the essential workers at the Capitol cleaning up after the unholy mess created by the President, his mob, and the complicit GOP enablers so Congress could return. They could clean up the mess that day. So can you. https://twitter.com/daniellamicaela/status/1346990597786247169
