Senator Mitt Romney was seen running for his life after Proud Boys and other rioters smashed their way into the US Capitol in previously unseen video footage played at Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
The footage, taken from the Capitol security footage and containing no sound, showed the Utah senator running down a corridor, having been told to flee by Capitol Hill police officer Eugene Goodman.
Mr Romney had previously been walking, but after being spoken to by the officer, he was seen to turn and run the other way. Moments earlier, scores of protesters, at least one of them carrying a baseball bat and wearing full tactical gear, were seen smashing their way into the building.
While some of the moments of violence and chaos that erupted on January 6, after hundreds of Mr Trump’s supporters stormed the legislature building as it met to ratify Joe Biden’s electoral win, had been seen before, many of those shown on Wednesday had not.

I would like an opportunity to face off with Mitt who has demonstrated that he deserves NO ONE's respect.

With all due respect ma'am, that's a disgusting thing for an american veteran to say in response to this kind of event. Many people here have rightfully denounced what happened on January 6th, but many others have expressed what can only be described as thinly-veiled approval for the event. It's disappointing but not surprising in these divisive times.
