WASHINGTON — The Jan. 6 committee has woven through each of its public hearings the voices of actual rioters from that day, seeking to draw a direct tie between the violence at the Capitol and what was happening behind the scenes at the White House.

But the rioters themselves haven't been circumspect about what made them travel — in some cases hundreds of miles — to Washington, D.C., for a rally that day and then march on the Capitol, which hundreds of them entered.

In interviews and court proceedings they've been clear: They believed Donald Trump when he told them the election had been stolen, and they believed it was their duty to try to help keep him in office, which in their eyes was essentially an effort to save the democracy.

“We were just American people tired and pissed off of the fact that we felt our election was stolen,” one rioter told NBC News in an interview. “We were just regular, pissed-off Americans.”

Aww boohoo. Here's a suggestion, grow the fuck up. Adults know you win some and you lose some. The immature throw tantrums and get violent when things don't go their way.

Enjoy your time in jail.

1. I can't count the number of times government has pissed me off...

Yet I've never thought to become an insurrectionist... Funny that

2. It sounds like an excuse to me.

I don't think that they cared whether he won legitimately or not. I think their intent was exactly what it looked like - an insurrection to put the racist fascist back in power, because they agree with him.

Basically, they don't believe that anybody but them should be allowed to vote.

3. One cannot honestly claim to just "believe" or "feel" something when one is willfully ignorant.

If you purposely close your eyes to the evidence which contradicts your position, then you're not merely thinking or believing a thing which happens to be untrue or incorrect -- you're a fucking liar.

4. We Dems have much more right to claim thievery

Both Gore and Hillary won the popular vote.
Only an antiquated system that favors small rural states made W and Trump Prez.

6. Exactly.

"Sore Loserman" was surely spewed by the same fools who participated in the attempt to overthrow democracy on Jan 6th.

[Nevilledog]

5. Ummmmm....Fuck your feelings.

Isn't that what the MAGAts told us?

[CrispyQ]

7. And now, every election they don't win is stolen, but never the ones they do win.

I pointed out that hypocrisy to a repub relative of mine, & crickets.

[Aristus]

8. We Democrats had our election wins stolen in 2000 and 2016.

We didn't try to overthrow the United States.

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. THIS

Right here. So much this.

[Iggo]

9. Oh you felt that, felt you?

Well fuck your feelings!

Get some goddam evidence** or sit down and shut the fuck up!

(** SPOILER: There isn’t any.)

[C_U_L8R]

10. No, you are poor losers who have betrayed everything this country stands for.

Fucking traitors.

[Midnight Writer]

12. "Pissed-off" is neither a moral nor legal defense.

[zuul]

13. I STILL think TFG and Putin conspired to steal the 2016 election

but I didn't plot a coup and violently storm the fucking Capital.

Fuck these crybaby assholes!

[Skittles]

14. there are people who lose elections, and then there are losers

DONALD FUCKING TRUMP IS A FUCKING *LOSER*

[Mr.Bill]

15. You know what, assholes?

We're pretty tired and pissed off at the fact you felt the election was stolen, too.

Because it wasn't.
