MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace Declares Trump 'Summoned a Mob to Kill His Vice President'
[RedState] The last time I went after MNSBC’s Trump-loathing host Nicolle Wallace — her Orwellian suggestion that Republicans "must assert the truth before they’re allowed to share any other views" — she tweeted the link to my article, and mumbled something not-nice about me, "conservatives," and "liars." Welp, there she went again, and here I go again.

As House managers laid out their case in the impeachment trial on Wednesday, they showed never-before-seen video of rioters inside the Capitol, some of which was more disturbing than any video of the riot I had previously seen.

One such video showed Vice President Mike Pence being rushed by Secret Service agents down a staircase as rioters neared. Stacey Plaskett, a Democratic delegate from the Virgin Islands and one of the House impeachment managers, told senators:
"They were within 100 feet of where the vice president was sheltering with his family, and they were just feet away from the doors of this chamber where many of you remained at that time."

In another video, the crowd could be heard chanting "Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!" Outside the Capitol, where makeshift gallows had been set up, others called out: "Bring out Pence!" One rioter taped a video, in which he said: "He’s a total treasonous pig!", as reported by The New York Times.

Regardless of who was responsible for what, there were frightening moments inside the Capitol — at the hands of a mob intent on disrupting the conducting of a democratic process by a joint session of Congress. To deny that is to deny reality.

Note: I’m not assigning blame; I’m merely suggesting that one can condemn the reality of what happened inside the U.S. Capitol without making an unsubstantiated politically-predisposed pronouncement of intent or sinister motive.

#1 I can imagine, no, I know, how pleased the capital protesters are to see they scared the $hit out of weak kneed politicians. After all, that was the point of the protest. Too bad they didn't learn their lesson. Soon enough the protesters will be back.

#2 Given that those organizing the mob were Black Bloc Antifa/BLM lightly disguised as Trump voters, I look forward to those who put up the gallows, etc. being identified and tried. Andy Ngo must have quite a data base by now, and The Internet is very good at identifying people as well.

#3 If I remember correctly Ali Alexander organized the "Stop The Steal" protest at the capital on January 6. Does he have a connection to antifa?

#4 I rather enjoyed watching our "rulers" hiding under their desks.

#7 Regardless of who was responsible for what

Oh ho ho ho bloody nice. Just because it was a bunch of paid cosplayers doesn't mean you aren't responsible for a bunch of politicians play shitting themselves because of a guided tour.

Mob. Riot. Violence. I've seen rowdier crowds at a Renn Fest.

#8 NGO said antifa was not at the capital protest. Has something changed?

#9 Several of them have been identified, Xyz. Including Shaman Man, who additionally suffers from an unmedicated mental disorder according to the prosecutors back home.

Which NGO was it that made such an absurd claim? Link, please.

#10 MSDNC has little regard for the truth. Come to think of it, they have little regard for good fiction.

#11 Probably meant Andy Ngo, who did make that claim.

However.

The Village Idiot People are all, at the least, actors. There is a fair case that theu were an Blamtifa A-Team op. Have you seen Brokeback Cowboy? He was there. His costume was so absurd, the only thing which made sense were his skinny, pasty white wrists. Confederate Doughnut somehow out-hustled everyone a prime background only to be outdone by Buffalo Bill and Satan Face, I bet you can accurately picture the people by their role name, and they all have stage presence which is a learned skill.

#12 Regarding buffalo shaman...
I sure don't think Republican when I read the word Shaman.

#13 Thank you #11. I meant Andy Ngo. Spell check got me.

#14 Ah. Yes, Andy Ngo did originally say that there was no Antifa there, but given all the other witnesses who watched them do the usual Antifa thing, and then others who found looked at the photos of participants and found other photos of them at other Black Bloc events, it appears Mr. Ngo was premature.
