The two-war vet billionaire Meijer heir’s unintentionally hilarious “we’re all gonna die” interview on the Capitol Hill incident:


https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3923213/posts
[Definitely didn’t expect to be donning a smoke-inhalation hood and having to get down under some chairs because there were concerns that they might start shooting into the House chambers, getting evacuated from the House chambers and running around corridors to try to find a secure location, not knowing what was going on, who was where, and what was happening. So obviously it was chaotic on that front, and then just the fact that finding pipe bombs all over the place—I think there were several of those at the DNC, RNC, I think one on the Capitol grounds. Dudes breaking in with zip ties—you bring zip ties to take hostages, right?

I spent three years in between Iraq in the military and in Afghanistan, where my job was to basically be paranoid about all the ways that humanitarian aid workers could die, and try to protect them from those worst-case scenarios. So I tend to have a pretty dark imagination in terms of the possibilities that could occur. But that’s not how I wanted my first week to be as a member of the House of Representatives.

We saw some real leaders step up in that moment. There were some folks who stayed on the floor and helped the Capitol Police barricade the doors. A couple of my colleagues actually from the freshman class—Pat Fallon, Troy Nehls, Tony Gonzales—were all kind of down there, all former military. I think having been in chaotic situations before—and I did disaster relief work as well, and was doing search and rescue and other missions in Hurricane Sandy as the storm was coming in—and the thing you have to always do is [realize] that freaking out doesn’t help anything. And to be the calm, cool, and collected voice,]

Trump should never accept responsibility for something he didn’t do. That’s just Communist sh#t.

Sucked into the Left’s view of “guilty until proven innocent.”

Maybe he has insurance with AIG and doesn’t want to be cancelled.

He probably wants to be best buds with Liz Cheney (won’t work), the catcher’s Mitt, and Cocaine Mitch.

Doubtless he’s trying to raise his social score to the DC Congressional A-List.

Watching C-Span coverage of the impeachment resolution and a familiar and unsurprising pattern is shown:

ALL the Dems voted the same, they stick together.
10 GOP’rs (so far) are voting in favor of impeachment.

Exactly.

Some people are focusing on antifa infiltration and that’s important to look into, but in a way, it’s a secondary issue for the matter of impeachment because he never said anything that could be reasonably interpreted as incitement in the first place. Even if every single “rioter” had been right wing, they did it entirely on their own. He only encouraged people to show up and peacefully protest.

“Confess or I indict.” At least this moron is not an attorney.

Keep digging, Adam. Keep digging.

And when you’re done, review your resume because you’re going to be out of a job soon.

Well, why would Trump admit responsibility when he’s NOT responsible for the actions of others?

Peter Meijer appears to have been a rear area guy in Afghanistan and Iraq. The fact that he practically soiled himself suggests that he saw no action. Of course, as a billionaire’s son, his folks would have been able to pull strings to ensure he stayed well clear of physical danger.

I didn’t know Kinzinger was a Meier heir. Haven’t cared for him since he used the Tea Party to win his first election, unseated a Democrat that was more conservative than he has turned out to be. Can’t stand the POS.

local Republican Party Committees must line up good candidates in the primary to rid ourselves of these back-stabbers. They must pay a price for such traitorous behavior.

How can anyone blame the President for refusing to accept the behavior of some of those involved in the mismanagement of the electioon?
