Several lawmakers were identified as participating in the protests at the US Capitol, with at least one breaching the building:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A West Virginia lawmaker who filmed himself and supporters of President Donald Trump storming into the U.S. Capitol is facing bipartisan calls for his resignation as federal prosecutors step up their pursuit of violent perpetrators.
State Del. Derrick Evans was among lawmakers from at least seven states who traveled to Washington, D.C., for demonstrations rooted in the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrat Joe Biden stole the presidential election. Wearing a helmet, Evans ultimately joined a screaming mob as it pushed its way into the Capitol building, and livestreamed himself joyfully strolling inside.
Should there be repercussions for this action? Newt Gingrich thinks so:
From Facebook:
What’s your opinion?
“the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrat Joe Biden stole the presidential election”
This might fly if they hadn’t stopped counting.
The party of one is done.
Can you feel it?
Nobody is buying any of this, and the ones that do will stop getting paid eventually.
The GOP has always been better at cleaning their house when leaders and members of prominence go beyond a certain line of decency or decorum. Democrats? Not so much. Do you recall them ever admonishing a member (ala Maxine Waters calling for the endorsement of harassing Republicans in public) who do crazy stuff? Name one?
Yeah, NOBODY tossed Al Frankin out the door. LOL. You’re such simp.
Hypocrisy. The dems and the media are repulsive in their condescension. So are the establishment republicans who look down on their voters with contempt.
Anyone who damaged or entered an area that was off limits should be prosecuted fully.
The days of rioting, lawlessness and destruction of lives and property must come to an end.
Some chatter coming through my sources:
1 – the people that were breaking stuff and fomenting, then strafing from illegal activity were ANTIFA/BLM Bernie Bros organized and working together from a known ANTIFA Playbook of crowd commandeering (facial ID evidence)
2 – America’s collective political IQ is very low right now, but it’s on the rise
3 – the scene at the capital was predicted, hypothesized, and expected in our network, which will make Alex Jones’ credibility and patronage explode. Confirmation of predictive hypotheses is the cornerstone of the scientific process, and Jones’ predictions were accurate, but not so much so that the moment the operation commenced could be predicted and prevented (I’m monitoring police communications from that time frame as well as the resignation of the Capital Police Chief, whose people were goaded into attacking a crowd of innocent people).
4 – If Trump is not sworn-in, he will start a media company .. any guesses as to who will run it?
The only thing that didn’t go according to plan, as I understand it, was to restrain all of the Bernie Bros doing the agitating and crowd commandeering. Nonetheless, the city was locked down, and 5G COULD HAVE BEEN used to conduct biometric identification of everyone in the vicinity, a signature on file to be matched by 5G scans from other areas (including future events).
We are at war with China.
I presume everyone in Congress is playing a part .. some for the Chinese/globalists .. some only outwardly appearing to favor Chinese/globalists.
That is all.
See, it’s clowns like John Dale here that give y’all a bad name. Why you continue to let this moron post and speak his piece (Sibby, too) is why you’ve got insurrection and attacks on America. The FBI has told you repeatedly that it’s NOT “antifa”. It’s right-wing loons in militias and neo-nazis that do domestic terrorism. 5G, Bill Gates, George Soros, commie hippies aren’t ever going to do anything but make your coffee.
It had to have been John Dales’s 5G that turned normal law abiding citizens into hooligan rioters that stormed the Capitol.
Your comment about baseless is about as accurate as President Trump’s “baseless” charge that the Obama administration was spying on his campaign. This is a very tough time for the GOP. I believe there will be two factions of the GOP, those who are part of the establishment who have been in power and breaking promise after promise of fighting for the issues that the base have been concerned about and the MAGA group who has given up any hope of being able to make the necessary changes to get the establishment to do what they promised in the first place. This schism, I believe, will be deep. The GOP is probably not going to have the power it once did. The MAGA group believes the establishment GOP has stabbed them in the back.
And rightly so. Gimme Lurch Thune any day over Gym Jordan.
My sources tell me the VP is fully aware of the systemic election fraud that occurred in the swing states (except Florida), and allowing illegal votes to support the Electoral College is unconstitutional. All three of South Dakota’s delegation has turned their back on conservatives and are going along to get along. Sad time for America. The Communist Coup d’etat is almost complete.

Toner-huffer here missed that memo, Troy.
Ike, you are such a tool and a shill for the Democrats You come on this blog and talk smack but, anytime anyone talks about your side of the fence you claim it is not true. The Democrats started the violence the last 4 years not Republicans. From Maxine Waters telling people to “get in their face” to Kamala Harris helping to bail out protesters (rioters). There is not a soul on this blog that would take anything you have to say seriously. I have an idea, go over to the South Dacola blog and you can fit into the echo chamber of lunacy with the other 4 Communists that post there are on a regular.
No facts. No proof. Just more fantastic claims by Steve Sibson.
You had 60 court cases in which to prove it. Why don’t you tell us why you couldn’t?
“My sources”? Ya, right. And what are those sources?
Looking at this thread, I can see both sides have their share of “useful idiots”.
If they were caught trespassing, or other criminal acts, They should be tried and if found guilty, punished in accordance with District of Columbia laws. They get no special treatment because they are a legislator
As far as their seat in their respective legislatures, That would be up to their state constitution or state legislature how to investigate and deal with offending legislator. The legislature can and should take in the account of any court actions from the District of Columbia or elsewhere
First, there is no reason for the violence whether it was instigated by Trump supporters, the police or by infiltrators. Anybody who can be identified should receive the same treatment as the rioters of this past summer. Our country is supposed to have an equal application under the law. It is rather discouraging when one sees the laws applied differently depending upon who the group is.
I don’t have any “sources”, just me. We’re living through an era of PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS. Does either side think that we’re living through unprecedented division? We’ve been through revolution, Jim Crow, the Vietnam War, Watergate. Since the turn of the century, we witnessed Bush v. Gore, 9/11, the Iraq war, the war on terror, ISIS, Benghazi, Hillary’s emails, the election of 2016. And yet, the vast majority of the violence – citizen on citizen – in our lifetimes has been this last year. Really? This has NOT been the most divisive year, but yet we’re more worked-up then I’ve seen in a very long time. In Minneapolis over the summer, protestors literally set a police precinct on fire and we watched it burn. Cities across the country boarded up their downtowns like they were preparing for a hurricane, except it was protestors. What happened yesterday can’t be separated from what happened this last year. Political activists and campaign staff agitated the populace to a point that we can’t function anymore as a society. Social media allowed us to huddle together in our groups and work each other up even more. Our leaders told us this activity was OK, that it was good, that it was “mostly peaceful.” Then we see the abhorent behavior in DC yesterday, and people want to view it as a one-off? The result of Trump? The result of formal objections to the electoral vote? No. I don’t blame either party. I don’t exonerate either party. Looking back over the course of this past year, to any leader that did not condemn violence in the moment, shame on you. I watched part of yesterdays debate waiting for anyone to stand up to act like the adult in the room. Nobody did.
Well said.
If that’s the case – Biden, Kamala, Pelosi – they all need to go. They want a protest when it’s for their cause. If not – it’s a riot. Please See the hypocrisy in this.
