House Dems: trump’s Capitol Insurrectionists had inside help

Panic buttons installed in Ayanna Pressley’s congressional office were torn out before rioters stormed the Capitol last week, her staff have said.

Sarah Groh, who serves as Ms Pressley’s chief of staff, was with the congresswoman when president Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol building last Wednesday.

She told the Boston Globe that she had reached for the panic buttons installed in Ms Pressley’s office as they tried to barricade themselves in.

But, when they went to press panic buttons, Ms Pressley’s staff saw that they weren’t there, and appeared to have been ripped out.

“Every panic button in my office had been torn out - the whole unit,” Ms Groh told the paper.

She went on to say that the panic buttons were installed because Ms Pressley, a member of the progressive group of House Democrats dubbed the “Squad”, had been on the receiving end of racist attacks by the US president and his supporters.

Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, asked Capitol Police to heighten the security surrounding Ms Pressley and other Democratic congresswoman in 2019, after the president wrote a series of racist tweets attacking members of the “Squad”.

Does the GOP know the difference between right and wrong anymore?

They don’t have to know the difference between right and wrong - only between what makes money and what doesn’t. This is US politics, after all.

Here’s why he might actually be convicted for his crimes this time:

Because now that his BS got people killed it’s become toxic to do BUSINESS with him. Now that big tech, big banks, corporate America, NYC etc are all canceling business deals with him - maybe N O W there will be enough republicans to vote to convict him *to save their own asses* because continuing to kiss his ass will be a death kiss to their own careers, business deals, and corporate donors. It’s all about the Benjamins.
