'We're coming in one way or another,' traitors tell two besieged Republican congressmen attempting to reason with the hooligans through broken windows where officers pointed guns at insurrectionists trying their best to breach the chamber.
I'm not always on the site; when I am, it is generally about climate. But I saw this video on Twitter, and when I searched Daily Kos, I couldn't find it, and it needs to be seen. Wouldn't you agree?
NBC News released the video on January 6th, a three-year anniversary after obtaining the clip from a FOIA request. The full video is over 8 minutes, but only an edited version was posted on Twitter. I suspect the confrontation was after the terrorist, Ashli Babbit, was shot and killed.

If it was posted and I missed it, let me know, and I’ll delete the diary. Mahalo

The video was shot by Damon Beckley, a rioter who is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 9 for his role in the violence. Federal prosecutors are seeking a three-year sentence for him.
“I drove 14 hours to get here and stood in the cold for three and a half hours to find out that Mike Pence is a f------ traitor, man. And I voted for that f-----dude,” Beckley says in the video.
“He could’ve done the right thing and certified those legislators, electors, and we wouldn’t be standing here with a 9-millimeter pointed at me right now!”
Insurrectionist Scott Perry was caught on camera recently.

WASHINGTON — Dramatic, newly released video shot by a Jan. 6 rioter shows the confrontation between two Republican members of Congress and Capitol rioters trying to breach the main door into the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. The videos show rioters staring down the barrels of guns through broken glass as they tried to force their way inside.
The eight-minute video, shot by Capitol rioter Damon Beckley and introduced as evidence ahead of his sentencing, was released to the media coalition late Friday in response to a request from NBC News. Federal prosecutors are seeking more than three years in federal prison for Beckley, and his sentencing has now been rescheduled for Feb. 9.
Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, and then-Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., can be seen speaking with rioters through the broken glass.
