Because we don’t get to pick the president. They get to pick the president. They own the president. They own the White House. They own this country.”⁠ ⁠ U.S. Capitol Police, responsible for security at the complex, has been widely condemned for failure to prepare for the pro-Trump onslaught. The police force has not commented on its performance.⁠ ⁠ Watch Reid's full segment at our link in bio. // 📷 MSNBC」1月8日 0時30分
