Where was this energy in 2008 when the gov't was bailing out banks and corporations because of their greed.

"If we're wrong, we'll be made fools of" ...well said Rudy.

“Peacefully and patriotically”

"Lets have trial by combat!" Giuliani must think Game of Thrones is part of American history.

@JapanWalkerJJ

2:15 sounds like she's auditioning for a Shakespeare play and didn't make it

@tonyw2185

Trial by combat in the United States is something I did not expect.

@chewie_charmander3101

"Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard"

@ivette432ify

Not a thinking crowd just a herd mentality. Unfortunately some representatives think the same.

@victorbernal9220

2:37 why she yelling thooo lol She looks like she’s a conductor in orchestra

@Res1wolf

I think Rudy definitely incited violence with that trial by combat moment

@henriomoeje8741

"Let's march to the capitol." He didn't go! He went to his mansion to watch it unravel on TV.

@commonsensecat6555

Republicans objecting to the certification sure sound different now... There is Kelly Loeffler, changing her mind. Now that she has lost, it doesn't matter if she earns Trump's enduring ire.

@Lee-bz2xn

Who was that woman at the end? Not even emotionally mature enough to be in that position.

@AliceInPantera

By the way the media talks about this, you’d think Trump offered money for the head of Nancy Pelosi. I really don’t think he was expecting anything like that to happen after saying “peacefully and patriotically”....

@Alexphutchison

“Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” does that sound like violence to you????

@ashamancito4630

2:23 did she just say "separate but equal obligation"?

@ericalashay0209

Why tf is she yelling at your honor sir

@drumst1ckspr0

1:30 peacefully

@Touhou2006

Trump: “we will March peacefully to the capitol” The people: “How about I do anyway?”
