MAGA rioters asked Pelosi staffers to return items they dropped while ransacking her office

[RandySF]

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told Insider on Friday that several pro-Trump Capitol rioters dropped personal belongings while they were ransacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) office -- and then they called her office and asked how to get them back.

Specifically, Raskin claimed that some of the rioters called and were "asking whether there was a lost and found because they forgot their phone there, or they left their purse or what have you."

Quick-witted staffers handed the requests over to law enforcement officials, who promptly "got on the phone and said, yeah, just give us your name, your address, your social, you know, and we'll tie up these loose ends," Raskin said.

"What's so fascinating to me about that there really were people who felt as if they had been summoned to Washington by the president," he said. "And when they were told that they were trespassing and invading the Capitol, they said the president invited them to be there. They didn't have any kind of subtle understanding of the separation of powers. They just thought that the number one person in the US government had invited them to be there, and therefore they had a right."

1. you got to have some effing nerve...

This is privilege right here.

[2naSalit]

3. Sure is.

[Ray Bruns]

21. It's not nerve. It's IQ in the single digits.

[Rebl2]

22. Bingo!

[monkeyman1]

26. talk about stupid !!!

[Progressive Jones]

42. They all seem to have a super-inflated sense of self importance.

Example: As they were attacking the United States, you could hear comments like, "This is the People's House! It's OUR house!" They don't understand that nothing like that appears in the Constitution.
They don't understand that phrases like that are just feel good politician talk from way back when.
They worship the "founding fathers", without seeming to understand that these "founding fathers" would not see them as anything other than half a notch above a slave. They wouldn't have those "founding fathers" supporting them, or including them in society in any way other than serving as manual labor.

They always claim to be the "Real Americans", without realizing how ridiculous that phrase and sentiment are. Again, an over inflated sense of worth and importance.

2. I call bullshit on not really understanding. They gave up critical thinking to feed their need

for violence and hate.

[Solly Mack]

4. Wow

[Emile]

5. Not the brightest bulbs in the box.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. LOL

And they go insane when WE call THEM, stupid.........

It would have been fun for the Government to offer a five hundred dollar check to anyone at the demonstration for being a Patriot.....
The Gov't could have put the application up on the internet, and have them send it, per registered mail, to some innocuous address.
The request would need to be accompanied by selfie photos of them at the demonstration, and/or a cell number of the phone they were carrying during the onslaught so their participation could be documented!!!!!!!!

6. lol...yes, stop by please and pick up your item

9. Consequences for blowing off civics class

back in high school.

Golly jeepers what a crying shame.

[FakeNoose]

10. Well if it was only a day or two after the insurrection

... the drugs hadn't worm off yet. They had NO IDEA how much trouble they were in at that point!

Credit to Speaker Pelosi's staff for handling those calls the right way.

[aeromanKC]

11. The Onion?

Hard to tell anymore.

[XanaDUer2]

12. Duh

[AllaN01Bear]

13. id love to see them line up w pelosi and some police as they sign off their gear and get arrested.

use it as a sting.

[DemUnleashed]

14. Don't get it

I don't get it. If Biden asked me to storm the Capitol, I would know enough not to do it! How can anyone not know the difference between right and wrong, within themselves? It doesn't matter what anyone, including a President, asks you to do...if it's wrong behavior, ya don't do it!

But of course I'm not taking any blame away from Trump! He needs to be prosecuted for instigating them to do it!

Both Trump AND the insurrectionists are guilty!!!

[Progressive Jones]

44. They don't know right from wrong, and I'm surprised because so many of them claim

to be "christians". Being that most are likely part of some "evangelical group", aren't they repeatedly being pounded with what's "right and wrong"?

Poor parenting probably played a role, at least for some of them. The feces never falls far from the anus.

Then there's the brain washing from right wing radio, podcasts, etc. Propagandists like
Mark "Lil Joey Goebbels" Levin, and "Lived Too Long" Limbaugh, and Lil Tucker Trump Cuck and the rest, have been pushing for events like January 6th, 2021. It's always wrapped in the cloak of "The Church of the Founding Fathers". Lots of child-like Paul Revere fantasies. These morons think it's 1776, and they're fighting the British. All is fair in their minds.

16. That's NOT The Onion?

Alternative headline: Tell me you're an idiot without telling me you're an idiot.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Yet another indication that the educational system in this country has declined profoundly in the past couple generations.

30. "Sorry we threatened to kill you...can we get our stuff back?"

Quick-witted staffers handed the requests over to law enforcement officials, who promptly "got on the phone and said, yeah, just give us your name, your address, your social, you know, and we'll tie up these loose ends," Raskin said.
