Just emerged from the Senate Chamber where I watched the reaction as the video presentation began. Every Senator was watching with rapt attention. At one point Senators Bennett & Warner stood up from their seats to get a better view of the screens.
Watched for another more than hour and it was unbelievable how close the Senators in the room paid attention to each part of the presentation. In many cases they seemed to be in stunned silence as the presentation played out.
At one point- When the video played of a rioter ending his remarks by yelling “Peace out” into the camera- Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) shook his head in disgust.
Democratic Senators audibly groaned, when video played of the rioter who gained access to Speaker Pelosi’s office and put his feet on her desk and then bragged about it after.
