Capitol Insurrection January 6 Viral Video

WATCH: Conservative CNN Panelist Gets Shut Down For Saying ‘Both Sides’ Responsible For January 6th

A Republican consultant who worked for the George W. Bush campaign got his head handed to him Friday during a panel discussion on the January 6 hearings and who is ultimately blame for what took place on that fateful day.

Scott Jennings, who has also served as an adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) agreed that failed, one-term former president Donald Trump should not be allowed to run for office again, but then suggested Democrats also had culpability in the Capitol riots:

“I don’t think people who have lost all faith in institutions fully exist on the right. it is clearly also existing on the left, and I know right now, I mean, for as much as Donald Trump’s people want to smash Congress and do what they want to do on January 6th, there are people right now who would, I’m sure would love to do that to the United States Supreme Court and urging Joe Biden to bypass the Supreme Court and bypass Congress and essentially rule by executive –“

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Eliott Williams cut Jennings off to interject:

“I don’t think it is a fair argument to sort of both sides insurrection.”

Jennings attempted to recover:

“You think it is not a fair argument to point out that someone tried to go kill Brett Kavanaugh or threatened to burn down the Supreme Court? These people have the same –“

But Juliette Kayyem, who worked in the Department of Homeland Security, was having none of Jennings or his bullshit:

“That wasn’t led by Biden, that wasn’t led by Biden. Come on!”

Jennings:

“I’m not — I’m not saying it was led by Biden. They coddled it.”

Once more, Kayyem was quick to slam Jennings:

“Whatever you believe, Scott, about what the Democrats are doing, just give us a break here on this one, that Trump actually directed the violence — you don’t think he directed the violence?”

Jennings was then forced to admit that Trump was the instigator of the horror on Jan. 6:

“Yes, of course, I do. I said it many times, but I’m telling you David’s [Axelrod] is correct, there is a whole group of Americans who have given up on our process and institutions and they don’t fully exist on the right, which I think you think they do, but I don’t believe they do. “

But people on the left didn’t storm the Capitol or try to overturn an election. That was the Trump acolytes, led by their orange lord and savior. And that fact will never change.

WATCH Pete Buttigieg Destroy A GOPer Who Mentions Using The 25th Amendment On Biden

Congressional Republicans are getting desperate as they see their once massive lead over Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections dissipate, with some polls showing the GOP now trailing, so they’re trying to trash President Joe Biden in an attempt to divert attention from their own incompetence and the disturbing revelations coming from the House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021.

That desperation was on full display today during a hearing of the House Transportation Committee and it came in the person of Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), who didn’t ask a single question about transportation or infrastructure, and instead asked Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg about the cabinet using the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office.

Nehls began his idiotic soliloquy with this:

“Sadly, he shakes hands with ghosts and imaginary people. He falls off bicycles. Even at the White House Easter celebration, the Easter Bunny had to guide him back into his safe place. This is, if he stays awake. 

“So my question for you is, sir, have you spoken with any other cabinet members about implementing the 25th Amendment on President Biden?”

That’s when Buttigieg took out a can of whoop-ass and opened it up on the Texas Republican, expertly destroying him:

“First of all, I’m glad to have a president who can ride a bicycle. 

“And I will look beyond the insulting nature of that question and make clear to you that the president of the United States…”

Knowing he was losing the debate, Nehls could only interrupt Buttigieg and repeat his question:

“Have you spoken to any cabinet members about implementing the 25th Amendment on President Biden?”

Buttigieg told Nehls:

“Of course not.

The president of the United States is as vigorous a colleague or boss as I “have ever had the pleasure of working with.”

Nehls is doing a piss poor job of trying to obfuscate and make everyone forget the insane things failed, one-term former president Donald Trump did that almost led to his cabinet using the 25th to boot him from office, as Yahoo News reported last month:

“Former President Donald Trump’s staff warned him that his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, could amount to criminal behavior. They unsuccessfully pleaded with him to call off rioters ransacking the Capitol who were threatening former Vice President Mike Pence. And after the riot had been put down and one of the most chaotic days in U.S. history was over, a former aide testified Tuesday, they told him his cabinet members were discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

“Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows and a veritable fly on the wall throughout the events and meetings that led to the insurrection at the Capitol, testified at length Tuesday that Trump was often irate and lashed out at staff as he attempted to hold on to power after he lost the 2020 election. His behavior, she said, had led Cabinet members to consider a remedy allowed by the U.S. Constitution.”

Twitter loved Buttigieg’s verbal evisceration of the Texas congressman:

VIRAL VIDEO: Rudy Giuliani ‘Assaulted’ In Staten Island Grocery Store

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was assaulted by at grocery store worker in Staten Island on Sunday, according to BNN and The New York Times.

The Times notes:

In a brief interview, Mr. Giuliani said he was walking through a ShopRite grocery store in the Charleston neighborhood with supporters when the employee disparaged him and slapped his back, then made an apparent reference to abortion.

“The one thing he said that was political was ‘you’re going to kill women, you’re going to kill women,’” said Mr. Giuliani, who said he understood the remark to be about the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade on Friday.

The initial account shared by police did not mention abortion, but said that an unnamed 39-year-old man had hit Mr. Giuliani in the mid-back while saying, “What’s up, scumbag?”

The man was taken into custody. Police were still investigating and it was not immediately clear what, if any, charges the man could face.

Here’s the video:

Giuliani, who called for “trial by combat” at a speech he gave on January 6, 2021 at the White House, also told the Times that political violence is a problem in the United States and needs to end:

“This has to stop. This is getting ridiculous,” he said. “I’ve been in politics 50 years, I’ve never been attacked like this.”

Mr. Giuliani said that he had red marks on his back, but was not bleeding and had remained on his feet after being struck. He had been planning to hand out fliers for his son, Andrew Giuliani, ahead of Tuesday’s Republican primary for governor. The younger Mr. Giuliani was not on hand.

“My back hurts, but otherwise I’m able to walk and stuff like that,” the former mayor said. “He almost knocked me down. Thank God for a 78-year-old, I am in pretty good shape.”

Maybe if Rudy would take the time to heed his own advice, karma wouldn’t catch up with him in the grocery store.

WATCH Jamie Raskin Mock Marjorie Greene By Telling Her It ‘Sounds Like You Want To Arm’ Fetuses

No one in Congress seems to agitate Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) more than Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD), probably because Raskin is everything Greene will never be: Intelligent, witty, and accomplished.

That dynamic was on full display during a hearing of the House Rules Committee at which Greene was testifying on the issue of the Second Amendment when Raskin asked her:

“Do you think the students should be armed?”

Greene replied:

“I think children should be trained with firearms.”

Raskin retorted:

“So they can repel someone who comes in?”

Getting agitated, Greene said:

“That’s not what I said. I said I believe children should be trained with firearms so they understand how to use them.”

The debate then shifted to the topic of abortion, which led Greene to get apoplectic:

“Abortion kills babies! We’re talking about kids being killed, abortion kills innocent children… They can’t protect themselves at all from this horrific procedure.”

That led Raskin to expertly mock the Georgia Republican by telling her:

“Sounds like you want to arm them.”

All Greene could muster in response was a weak:

“That’s impossible. That’s impossible, Mr. Raskin.”

Game, set, and match Jamie Raskin. He managed to troll Greene right to her face.

VIRAL VIDEO: Enraged Republican Calls Ted Cruz A ‘Coward’ At Texas GOP Convention

The Texas GOP convention was held over the weekend, and judging by some of the speeches and overall tone of those who delivered them, it’s accurate to say that the Lone Star State is getting more right-wing by the minute, with attendees loudly booing anyone who disagreed with them on any issue.

One Republican who got an earful was Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who always seems to be at the center of one controversy or the other, if only because he simply doesn’t know when to keep his trap shut.

But it was what happened to Cruz after he had already spoken to the convention that’s making news.

According to Newsweek, an enraged man called Cruz a coward and a globalist before he was finally escorted away from the senator:

“Remember how Trump made fun of your wife and you went and became best friends with Trump, why do you do that?” the man said as he approached Cruz who was sitting at a table in the convention hall.

“You go and become best friends with Trump after he makes fun of you and your wife, why do you do that?”

The man continued his angry rant:

“It is because you are a coward, I do love America, you don’t.

“You care more about the border between Ukraine and Russia than you do about the border between Texas and Mexico, why is that?”

Even as the man was being ushered away, he continued to verbally excoriate Cruz:

“You are a globalist, you know it Ted, you are a globalist. You know that, bud, that is why you are a coward and a liar.

“You know that and I know that, that’s why you are afraid to stand up. When people were freezing and dying you were in Mexico, do you remember that?

“Remember when you had the all-inclusive buffet while people were freezing. Do you remember that Ted? When everyone was freezing and people were dying.”

The video has been viewed online almost 500,000 times since it was posted on Sunday.
