sandrajeffery1 I've been to the capital when I lived in Baltimore Maryland. It's appalling as to what all went on Wednesday. I've cried about it.

They actually did manual labor No Shit....

Only 1 Congressman. The others too good?

How sad.✌🏻

You’re a true Patriot sir.

Wow… A member of Congress actually doing something… That’s the story… You know some litter behind versus ashes… No difference, huh?

How is a white mob coming together to use violence to achieve a desired result because they're disgruntled with the government unAmerican? It's almost all of American history.

Definitely an important story to tell.

This is nothing but a mainstream media shit show that was planned by actors!! You guys should receive an award for this wonderful performance ,but Trump ain't going nowhere period the truth of the evil doers will be revealed keep watching it time out!
