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.”

In most Nations, they do. But here in the formally United States of America until the Republican Party and the Democrat Party corrupted it, and we became a kinder, gentler Nation. We now make our traitors extremely rich and they live a life of ease. It is the American way.

That is an impossible task. If they were classy, they would not be Democrats. They are hoodlums at heart. If this was 1030’s Germany, they would all be members of the Worker’s Party.

Not one representative chose to go and talk to the people that they claim to represent. Perhaps because they feared that the justice that they so richly deserve was at hand.

Agreed- will add that most people who vote for Dems despite their evil lying ways, is because they think they will get ‘free stuff’ from that party, so they don’t give a rip about the evil that they are voting for

The man is a liar.

Which will serve him well in Democrat politics. His resume is impressive. Harvard, enlisted combat Marine, could oppose Sinema in 2024. He checks the Hispanic box. Makes Obama look like a worthless piker. Well...Obama didn’t need much help to look worthless. I’m sure this guy has big ambitions.

“Look, I was scared for the country, lying sack, he was joining the many fabricating lies to kill the opposition to their coup. BLM antifa doesn’t scare him because he knows they are on his side, their side

Look at all the slanted, pejorative adjectives! Not a report but rather a propaganda piece! “The Hill” so not surprised at all!
