Former Congressional Aide Recounts His Experience During ‘Extremely Traumatic’ Jan 6th Insurrection
It’s time to clean house in Congress. Stacey Abrams I am ready to help you register people to vote and make sure no one stays home in 2022. Or if they stay at home it’s cause they did their mail ballot. All of the Republicans need to go.
@SouthSide_ Chicago79 Sounds like you are intimidated by free speech.
@Biden Sucks Racist.
@Biden Sucks Stop The Squeel
@Biden Sucks Cigarettes were a killer for Rush,!!!!
@Biden Sucks Neither will Trump cause he’s going to prison!!
I was at the capitol and it was a peaceful protest just like the antifa and blm protests over the last year. No sneakers or TV’S were looted during the protest.
The left do love their double standard rhetoric…👌😉
@N W it is NOT anti police rhetoric you moron, they want funds moved to the appropriate department. and again those riots were caused from the far right,
reported to fbi biden sucks
@Biden Sucks Antifa didn’t try 2 coup attempts in less than a year. That was the far Right.
@Edwin Bertelmann The Right loves pretending their far bigger crimes are comparable and blaming everyone else for their violent behavior planned in advance.
Yo only Three Comments here Rn the Calm before the Stupid lol
cull the herd…the weak shall know their place
we are one race
@Spider Taylor Trumpbilly, is that yours?
@Spider Taylor time is on my side..
yes it is..
what goes around…really goes around
@MikeThink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
wu hu….
@Spider Taylor I tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
@Mike “Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Money don’t grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain’t nothing in this world for free
I know I can’t slow down
I can’t hold back
Though you know
I wish I could
Oh, no there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good”
No one should be subjected to trauma in the workplace. He’s young and just starting his career. This is a horrible setback for him and I hope he overcomes it. We owe these staffers so much, they don’t get enough credit or recognition for the work they do to keep Congress afloat.
He should be tougher
@Brian Jones You should be smarter, but that will never happen.
@Brian Jones “Be Tougher”. If anything were to happen to your beloved Trump or his cabinet, you would be crying wolf and peeing your pants.
@Spider Taylor 😂😂😂😂😂true
Investigate and charge all involved!
I wondered if some of the over 500 aides and staffers, who signed the letter begging Senators to convict, would quit.
I think the actions of the Republicans showed a vile disregard for the Constitution and the truth, and also for the people who worked with them on Capitol Hill.
I could not continue to work for someone like that.
By quiting now you have a very legitimate reason for walking away and starting a new career.
You don’t want the Trump/ QAnon stank on you or you might never work again. ( except for Fox News)
Treason and insurrection is not something you forgive and forget
Lol 😆
No it’s not.
For god sake!
I be gett’n a job on MSNBC
Only a half dozen Republican Congresspersons have ties to white supremacist groups? That number seems like a severe undercount.
Time to cancel my subscription to MSNBC.
This is not an airport terminal. No arrival or departure notices needed. Bye
@Steve Bell Go ahead and cancel your subscription. I am not sure they will miss you 😪….
Here is a poll to help you understand 🙂
Ask the people who do you support
The Democrats or Republicans .
Your question is to 1,000 known abused children and 1,000 known to be not abused . And let the result open your eyes 👀
Looney tunes here
This guy could have a singing career.
Is there a link to the 500 staffer letter? Was there a NYT article or opinion interviewing him and about this? Yes, INSIDE job so bad people in the Capitol who helped the Coup
Find them all because they said their coming back and I won’t be surprised when they do. Traitors are everywhere Folks.
Tbh as a black women I wouldn’t feel safe working in any capacity for the US Government. I don’t even feel safe driving pass a cop in my neighborhood
LOL. INSTEAD OF OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS, FAKE NEW$ msDNC ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE BIG JANUARY 6 (RESURRECTION). #DISTRACTION
#TRUMP4EVER#MAGA🇺🇸#4MREYRS
TRUMP will never ever be PRESIDENT again. Obese and 74……not good at all….
@Favour Bridgette LOL. WELL NOBODYS LISTENING TO YOUR PRESIDENT FROM UKRAINE.
Kabuci theater.
The staffers do all the work. The Senators just fled. It was STAFFERS who grabbed the electoral college votes to protect them & this is the thanks they get. I get angrier every day that goes by with no justice for this where it counts.
