During the riot, her staff locked themselves in one of the rooms in her office and hid under a table, fearful for their lives.

Pelosi showed the damage done to her office.

It’s ridiculous when the Republicans compare the protests last fall, even those which turned into riots, to the mob which forcibly entered the Capitol with the intent to murder the Vice President, take the speaker hostage, and change the results of the election.

Apparently, her young staff members knew just what to do – barricade the doors, turn off the lights, and hide under the tables in silence because they had practiced in school…

    Just looked up each of their websites to figure out where their districts are. Gosar has a page on his site called “Wuhan Virus Resources.” These are dangerous and deranged people.

    How bad is Gosar? His own siblings want him removed from Congress. From The Hill: Three of Rep. Paul Gosar’s (R-Ariz.) siblings have called on him to be expelled from Congress, The Arizona Republic reported, placing blame on the congressman for helping incite the violent riot that took place at the Capitol on Wednesday.
    
    Gosar’s siblings sent a letter to Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) asking for his help in removing their brother from Congress, the newspaper reported.
    
    It’s the third time in three years that members of Gosar’s family have publicly voiced their disapproval of the representative.
    “We know him to be an extremist and we took that very seriously,” Jennifer Gosar told the newspaper. “I believe that my brother has been a constant perpetrator of misinformation. … I’ve been incredulous at the lack of accountability thus far. I would think Wednesday would be certainly a line.”
    
    “When you talk about what happened the other day, you’re talking about treason. You’re talking about overthrowing the government. That’s what this is. If that doesn’t rise to the level of expulsion, what does?” said Tim Gosar. end quote

In addition to the siege of the Capitol building, pipe bombs were placed by the RNC and DNC headquarters. From CBS News: “Authorities are seeking information about the pipe bombs that were found near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters on Wednesday afternoon. The FBI is offering $50,000 for information “leading to the location, arrest, and conviction” of whoever is responsible.”

Trump and too many of the GOP have enabled, encouraged and incited these far right wing insurrectionists. It has been a far right wing dream going back many years to start a race war in this country and then to commit mass murder against Blacks, Jews and lefties.

  It might seem unreasonable to expect that someone might actually try to collect the $50,000 reward, but these are Trump supporters we are talking about, so I would not be at all surprised.

    I’m actually surprised no one took a selfie while they were planting the bombs.
