Rep. Ruben Gallego on Jan. 6 rioters: 'F-- them'

Rep. Ruben Gallego isn’t mincing words about Jan. 6, 2021, rioters at the Capitol, saying in a new “Daily Show” interview: “F--- them.”

“When it comes to insurrectionists? F--- them. I don’t give a f---,” the Arizona Democrat said in a clip airing Thursday on the Comedy Central show.

Gallego’s comments were featured as part of a segment of “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse” on the anniversary of the deadly riot at the Capitol, when a mob of supporters of then-President Trump stormed the building as Congress met to certify President Biden’s Electoral College win.

“Look, I was scared for the country. I was scared for my colleagues. I was pissed off,” Gallego told Klepper of what happened last January. “The thing I remember the most is seeing the fear in the eyes of some of the very young staffers.”

Klepper, who was also in Washington on Jan. 6 of last year, described the scene as “chaotic.”

“I got called an asshole, just over there,” he told Gallego, pointing to another area outside the Capitol. “Do you know the pitchfork guy? Is he a member of Congress?” Klepper quipped.

“He might be,” Gallego replied with a laugh. “Probably from the Freedom Caucus.”

Gallego IS an insurrectionist against the duly elected President, Donald J. Trump.

Traitors must swing.

He is a Democrat. Democrats are intrinsically evil. But the voting public does cot care. They continue to elect them. And when the Democrat’s evil deeds affect them personally, they cry and squall like babies. A case in point is Lying Joe Biden. The things he has done to harm America were not because he is stupid. he is stupid but that is not the reason. The reason he did them is because he is intrinsically evil. The things he did were not because he is incompetent. He is incompetent but the reason he did them was because he is intrinsically evil. He is a life long Democrat. When it comes to lying, stealing, cheating. He has no peer. As do all Democrats. Even the one from West Virginia that members of Free Republic consider the savior and messiah. At the end of the day he is still a Democrat.

"“The thing I remember the most is seeing the fear in the eyes of some of the very young staffers.”

Yeah, they were worried that the table scraps from the graft of their 'elected bosses' was going to come to an end before they could gather enough for an assured future of easy wealth and power.

Okay. So what was it. An “insurrection”, a “deadly riot” or a Federection?

Thank you to the “representative” for letting us know the proper attitude to adopt when in the near future we have to deal with real, rather than imagined, insurrectionists and seditionists. We shall not forget.

The Democrat Party will just bring him back. And by and large the people love them. Because they are just as decant, perverse, evil, wicked, degenerate as they themselves are. Remember in the Bible where the people were given the choice between Jesus and Barabbas? They choose Barabbas. It is not much different today. They had an Honest Man in the White House. They could not replace him with a Lying , cheating, thief quick enough.
