The sight of Senator Hawley running with his tail between his legs from the mob he incited should be run as a campaign add by his Senate opponent.

While I was watching the hearing I was brought to tears. As as former soldier of the United States Army and Desert Storm Veteran who proudly and honorably served this country and gave my oath to defend against all enemies be they foriegn or domestic was heartbroken. To witness trump so blatantly and with no regard to the safety and wellbeing of not just the members of Congress or their staff, not just the men and women of law enforcement who gave they oaths to protect, but the American people who supported him, attempted to overthrow the government. An act I have witnessed happen in other countries in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and in Central and South America. But never in my wildest imagination thought an attempt coup would ever happen in the U S.A. We were supposed to be the country that the world looked too as an example how a democracy should be. My thoughts went to the men and women who I served with, and all the men and women who came before me like my father (GOD REST HIS SOUL) who served 42 years with tour to Vietnam, South America and the Middle East. And it brought me to tear to watch trump shit on all of us who proudly served and defended our great nation. And the pain of what trump attempted to do was amplified by the fact that thousands of Americans blindly followed trump to commit criminal acts and have the nerve, the audacity to call themselves patriots. There was absolutely nothing patriotic in their violent attempt to take over Congress, threatening to kill members of Congress, and openly express their desire to hang the Vice President of the United States of America. They disrespected every single American who has served this country. The actions taken by trump and those that blindly followed this lead have now and forever put a horrible stain on the United States of America. These actions have embarrassed me, and every single American. The saddest, most disturbing part is the fact that there are still many Americans who support trump even with the Mt. Everest of evidence to his guilt there are still Americans who are willing to obediently, and without questioning, fall in line and believe anything and everything trump says. It honestly boggles the mind that a single person would still be willing to support and blindly obey trump, even if it means they must commit crimes against America and the American people. The damage trump and his followers have done and continue to do to American is tearing this country apart. Even though his followers have severely declined, there are still enough to continue to harm The U.S.A. It should bring every single American to tears.
May GOD BLESS America and the American people and everyone the world over. I always pray for peace but prepare for the worst. Stay safe and stay healthy.

I can say this with all honesty, I've worked as a tour guide and I've never once felt the need to run from the tourists. Hawley is a traitor and I hope that lawsuit looking to bar him, and Marjorie go through.

15/10!!!!

I always wonder why no one dwells on the fact these people call us anti fascist like it’s a bad thing and that could only mean they want fascism, right?

[ilovecnnnews]

the fact that he called the mob "my people" tells us all we need to know. The righteous reps who "protect family values" but continue to double down on lies and refuse to testify

[makennayork]

Colbert, you make me feel sane. Praying for John and his wife today as well, hope we see him back soon with good news on her health. ❤️

I respect Adam Kinzinger so much!!! I wish he would run for re-election. We need more people like that in Congress, especially the Senate.
Liz Cheney & Mitt Romney as well for having the courage to actually stand against the Trumpists hijacking their party. Integrity seems to be a rare thing these days.

Not only should he be charged with insurrection, but he also should be charged with five counts of "felony murder." Five people died during the insurrection that he was directly responsible for initiating. Felony Murder: "The felony murder rule is a rule that allows a defendant to be charged with first-degree murder for a killing that occurs during a dangerous felony, even if the defendant is not the killer." [Justia] Under 18 U.S. Code § 1111. "Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life[.]" Lock him up!

I was wondering what happened to Jon Batiste and looked it up. His wife is sick and he's taking care of her. Best wishes and health to him and his family.

I love how a congressional oversight hearing took time to completely piss on fellow senator josh hawley well done committee! 👏

[russellcampbell]

Waited all afternoon in Australia for this one. Some great material from the hearings was anticipated. Edit: Just saw the Josh Hawley skedaddle. Totally worth the wait. 🤣🤣🤣

[peachesb-georgia]

Ran like a roach...I have been waiting for your take...I loved it...

[carmenfavela]

Can't stop watching it🤣😂🤣😂 "With the audio turned on." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love those writers 💙.

[keplerf]

It started with a simple lie, "Lock her up!" and ended with a solid truth, "Lock him up!"

[EdricLysharae]

We Dems have our shortcomings, but we do expect people to be held to account for their actions. That is far more valuable in a democracy than having an unshakable loyalty to a demagogue.

[cognitogrrl]

Stephen Colbert is THE MAN !! I didn't get to watch this live after I watched the hearing, but that's probably a good thing coz I'd have waked up my REPUB husband ROFL Stephen, you helped me keep my sanity and get thru the 4 wretched years of that mess-administration, and I will always love you.

[gohboon]

WELL SAID KINZINGER 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 WE SALUTE YOU.

[chrisyacoback]

Thank you for using your platform to serve the Greater Good.... the events that unfolded at the Capital on January 6 should shock and horrify every American who holds the promise of Life Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness dear. The promise of freedom is too precious to be destroyed by this treasonous man...too many heroes have laid down their lives to allow one man's ambition to tear it all apart

[frankmaxwell]

God any mob I ever saw attack a government building around the world, was squashed by law enforcement, except this time !! Dereliction of duty. Love from Ireland 💚
