Glenn Beck Employee Boasts of Breaching Nancy Pelosi's Office Alongside 'Revolutionaries'

Source: the daily beast





Updated Jan. 06, 2021 4:21PM ET /


An employee of right-wing commentator Glenn Beck’s media outlet TheBlaze stormed Nancy Pelosi’s office on Wednesday alongside pro-Trump protesters who clashed with police and violently breached the Capitol building.

The Blaze host Elijah Schaffer posted a photo of a private staff computer screen, with his caption: “BREAKING: I am inside Nancy Pelosi’s office with the thousands of revolutionaries who have stormed the building. To put into perspective how quickly staff evacuated, emails are still on the screen along side a federal alert warning members of the current revolution.”

Schaffer later deleted the tweet, and tried to memoryhole his trespassing, claiming that he is merely a “full time reporter” and “am not personally involved in the events today in DC.” He added that his repeated use of words like “patriots” and “revolutionaries” to describe the MAGA mob was because the protesters used such descriptors for themselves.

The Blaze host had previously not been so generous to protests of a different political persuasion. Just one day ago, Schaffer posted a tweet lamenting “violence, vandalism, and arson” committed by antifa. “The media is silent about it. But why?”

Good lord, if you don't want to be caught being an idjit, you don't do it in front of a camera!! And once on the internet it doesn't just disappear because it gets deleted. Or get segregated into your own "private" niche. Maybe you do want your buds to see you being an ass, but there is a reason the internet is sometimes referred to as the "World wide web"!! Any enterprising soul with some understanding & knowledge can find a way to access your stupidity.

I believe the term is referred to as "evidence"!!!

With all the surveillance cameras in and around the Capitol and hopefully Pelosi's office, and their disdain for masks, facial recognition on many of them should be a breeze. Not only that, but their maskless state means a whole bunch of them will be on ventilators or dead by the end of the month. The others in jail.

He claimed that he was politely knocking on the door of Pelosi’s office when he was pushed in by other protesters. It was a story he knew no one would buy - “I’ll probably be telling them this is what happened all the way to the D.C. jail,” he said.

Poor deluded fools, they are but anarchists - you know, people who think that if they destroy enough, something more to their liking will magically spring up in it's place.

But I don't quite see how sitting in Nancy's chair helps the 'Revolution'? Someone, please explain?!?

They are naughty - with repercussions coming. Where did they go wrong? Something for them to think about during jail time, perhaps?
