"I would certainly probably consider that" That man grew balls and lost them in the same sentence. so it takes a insurection, a possibly life threatening situation and a all out attack on democratie for a republican to have balls for half a sentence. The country is truely doomed.
Republicans didn't suddenly develop a conscience, they are trying to save their own buts from being tossed in prison. Why didn't they speak up against this during tfour years ? Answer: they liked to travel on the gravy train which brought more power and money. YOU DO THE CRIME, YOU DO THE TIME which also includes being complicit and NOT speaking up.
Colbert shouldn't let that kind of statement slide. That was an easy line to comment on and say "You'd only CONSIDER it after an incited insurrection?"
Donald J. Trump’s legacy: - Impeached in his first term. - Infected by a virus which he called a hoax. - Lost the house majority after one term. - Lost the White House after one term. - Lost the senate majority after one term. - Staged a coup and lost. - Under criminal investigation by Manhattan attorneys.
Their names are Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Roger Marshall, John Kennedy, Tommy Tuberville! SAY. THEIR. NAMES. There will come a day they walk this back as an innocent blemish on their records. Its not. Never forget their names and never let them be elected again!
If he doesn't name Derrick Evans, I'm gonna call BS on any initiatives to remove the sitting leaders of the insurgency. There was an insurrection and Derrick Evans was in the lead.

Sadly they will again because the voters will never learn from their mistakes. They put their trust in them too much. The general election and even the senate seats were to close which just goes to show USA is resisting change and needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21St century. They voted for a criminal liar and grifter so they can’t play the victim when it has gone wrong. They created this monster and even now they reward him with $250m in a so called leadership pac/legal defence fund which we all know will be going into his pocket
I want to preface by saying that the people responsible should be held responsible, but naming names over public media is what got us into this mess. Trump standing at a podium and telling the public who to blame and who to hate just widens the divide between supporters and opponents, it doesn't flip anybody over from one side to the other, and only needs to be conveyed to the authorities that can actually do something about it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene - Did you hear her insane objection speech in the house? She had probably the most deranged and dangerously misinformed comments all day...
CERTAINLY & PROBABLY shouldn't never be spoken back to back like he used them in a sentence. They cancel each other out. Which one is it? What in the actual F#**
Also didn't say "will." He was talking past tense hypothetical, "if...would," not even acknowledging the debate in the days ahead, much less answering to what he'll do.
Probably he wants it all done now and the saner GOP politicians have put the kooks to the rack so that it is all done fast so people can forget this happened as soon as possible and lay as little blame on them as possible. I sincerely hope it does not work and this is remembered as their fault until the last days of the US - this is Guy Fawkes level stuff, it should never, ever be forgotten.
What should have been a 30 minute pro-forma snooze-fest was manipulated into the first real threat to our Democracy in just shy of 160 years, and from the same Dark Ages antisocial mindset.

5:50 "I don't want to get into naming names" This is such a glaring issue to me. Both him and sen. Klobuchar before him avoided direct question about their colleagues that are to blame for this. They're either afraid to step on toes and make the wrong enemies or they're buddies. These Republican Party members who have backed trump all the way through need to be held accountable and called out by their peers. It's such a disgrace that they don't put them on blast.
And he knew someone like this would happen, but he didn't vote to impeach. this interview was theatre to attempt to distance himself from the BULLSHIT he enabled.

That was a waste of time. There was no interest in actual intervention. This should have been the awakening moment the seeing the light kind of thing, yet still political talk and inaction.
That is the problem. Trump was never fundamentally different from the beguinning. Republicans have supported and enabled him as long as they could. Not because they thought he was harmless but because they believed they would not be accountable.
This guy obviously wouldn't vote to impeach... also if he knew they made it past the barricades why go back to your office why not let everyone else know... this guy is sketchy
I didn’t quote anyone. We, our leaders, and the news are constantly arguing over things that are usually objectively true or objectively false. Covid for example. Climate change Election fraud I could go on and on. Instead of arguing whether climate change exists... we can have different ways to approach the issue and disagree that way... but instead we just argue whether or not it is real.
Yep, it was a "No" loud and clear, and he threw in that rehearsed tiny laugh politicans use to let reporters know they think they are dumb for asking such a question
"Would you impeach him back then if you had the chance?" "If I knew then what I know today." Seriously, dude. So the first 3 years were just peachy keen with no criminality? Bullshit. Don't try to act like the good guy now.
"A big difference before the election and after election, when you try to undermine the very pinnings of democracy, significantly dangerous" suggesting NOW he MIGHT vote to convict . . . How is using the power of the US military to strong arm a weakened ally state, Ukraine, into inventing dirt on your political adversary NOT "undermining the very pinnings of democracy"?? this guy is a hypocrite of the highest degree.
I honestly don't believe they saw it coming. What irks me is that neither him, nor those like him, would listen to people, with far more experience, who knew exactly what was coming.
@@ifermaglich4985 too little too late. The writing was on the wall for years now. This is political pandering. He's doing the right thing but for the wrong reason. This was obvious last year during the first impeachment
He said, “We.” When Trump finally addressed the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol, he said, “We love you, and you are very special.” When Trump, in this context, in his capacity as President, says “We,” he means America. He is speaking for all of us, whether we agree with him or not. I can’t be the only one bothered by this. It was bad enough to see the President of the United States declare his love for domestic terrorists publicly, but it’s unforgivable that he invoked We, the People as he did it.
"If I knew then that Trump would incite a violent, armed mobs to storm the House, I would probably consider voting for impeaching" Spoken like a true Republican to the very end. Spineless.
@@alisonholland7531 he had a chance to stop this just like every republican senator but they fear trump's base .Now it just shows them as the cowards they are .better to stop dictators sooner
@@dahawk8574 Yea, now instead he says given another chance that he would "certainly likely consider impeachment..." Well didn't he already consider impeachment, and in his consideration he voted against it... So then given another opportunity, while knowing what he knows now, he would certainly consider impeachment as b4, what's likely is that he would vote as against it as well, since he makes no mention of reconsidering anything really...
@@michaelawford7325 There is if we only send the lawmakers and violent protesters. We just need to release all of the non-violent drug offenders. Prisons are about to get a lot whiter, which should make Trump's supporters happy right?
All those changes trump made at the pentagon right after the election led up to this....he got his cronies in charge so he could stage this with minimal resistance!
Our system isn't set up for a "mad king" situation, it's normally the president's responsibility to call on the national guard in DC. Pence eventually was in contact with the department of defense but the VP actually has zero authority in our government and doesn't have the authority to call for the national guard. The VP can only have the cabinet invoke the 25th amendment, which he should have done.
Where were all the "patriotic law enforcers" tonight that Barr used to teargas families in Lafayett park this summer? It's a federal responsibility to protect federal buildings and property. Tonight, DC and Capitol police were let down by DOJ and DHS.
Come on let's be honest you know where they were they were a part of the protest. Have you ever seen Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus in the same room at the same time?
@Tirzah Israel that is just straight up false, riot tactics are designed for small numbers of police to control large crowds, see: every blm protest ever. The reason wasn't because they were out numbered, it was either because it wasn't clear who was in charge or someone explicitly ordered them to stand down. Once the mayor of dc stepped up to take command, shit started getting done
TBF the Puerto Rican nationalist's attack was textbook terrorism. What happened today was worse; an attempted insurrection by traitors, and Kizinger did recognize that. There's a difference between people attempting to foster terror for ideological or personal gain, and people knowingly attempting to overthrow the constitution and lawfully elected representatives of the people. It's fine distinction, but traitors have a deeper pit in hell.
@@RoseyRosies His exact words were: ‘there are bullet scars in the House, from a terrorist attack in the fifties from, I think, Puerto Rican separatists’ 5:00
@@SirAroace But not all extremists are terrorists. Extremists should be avoided but left to give their opinion. Terrorists, like Nazis, should be killed on sight. OR SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS!! That's the difference.

@@JoshSweetvale that's a pretty extreme view that largely ignores the factors that create terrorists. If another country--say China, England, or Russia--staged a military intervention to "bring peace and democracy to the US" and started shooting those they deemed to be terrorist threats, would you be okay with that? I bet you wouldn't. If, say, it wasn't another country, but was an AI computer system installed by the US government that gave either machines or it's own form of human police authority to execute people on sight that it deemed to be terrorists or criminals, would you be okay with that? I bet not. It's easy to call for people to be shot, until you're the one getting shot at because you've been misidentified, mischaracterised, or whoever is doing the shooting is using a criteria that, whether you or other people agree or not, is what they went with. Some people might call the rise of such a system to be another form of totalitarianism or authoritarianism. It's important to not become what you want to prevent. I bet if you got to know some of the people who were part of the riots without knowing they were there, you'd humanise them a bit and understand their reasons, even if you don't agree or condone their actions. The point being, we need to do something about the reasons people do things like invade a government building, rather than just killing them and pretending they're the root cause of the issue. They're not.
Agreed. Every last one of those violent RWNJ's who stormed the capital needs to be arrested and charged with acts of terrorism against the US. These "Y'all Qaeda" inbreeds should be sent Guantanamo indefinitely.

@AlexLoeher On moral equivalence, OK, your point is well taken: He's definitely in a different category from the vast bulk of his colleagues who remain far beyond the human pale, by continuing the charade of contesting the EC votes on behalf of the coup leader even after the failed coup attempt. And OK again: full marks to Kinsinger for calling the coup by that name. But I would have liked to hear more honest soul searching about his reasons for not voting to impeach. It cannot be that he did not know that Trump would try to steal the election, given that he's been angling in plain sight to do exactly that ever since conspicuously going through the motions (and, plausibly, the actions) of stealing the last one while insisting that his opponent had. Even without Kinsinger noticing that, Trump's documented obstructions of justice (in the Mueller report, and around the Ukraine extortion attempt) were beyond sufficient reason to rule out having him spend another hour in office. Let's not beat about the bush here: dismissing "his" Attorney General, for the stated reasons, was borderline impeachable. The AG is not the President's AG, and absolutely not (as Barr was) the President's personal consigliere: he's the People's AG, and failure to understand that is (or should be) disqualifying. The frogs of the GOP were not coaxed into lukewarm water which was slowly brought to the boil: the frogs were shown the water boiling. with arrows pointing to the bubbles, before the election. Trump was openly turning on the elements within minutes of descending the escalator, and the likes of Cruz and Lindsey were warning the other frogs by accurately and insightfully skewering all of his disqualifying characteristics from day one. They, in particular, should rot in hell for caving as they did, putting personal power ahead of the people they pretend to want to serve. And while Kinsinger is definitely in a different class, but I cannot find it in myself to consider him in remission, a loyal American, given that he STILL will not commit to impeach even with what has just happened. Too much patriotism is a bad thing, but so is too little. And "coming to Jesus" is not totally convincing when done with reservations.
@@hijodelaisla275 Actual, as distinct from phony. Similarly there are actual Christians (who believe in Christ's teachings) vs the phony sort (who would run Jesus out of town for having long hair, no shoes and being in possession of a donkey not his own) and there are self-declared patriots. Rule of thumb : if you have to declare yourself a patriot then you are almost certainly virtue signalling, and not an actual patriot, the latter being a person who will put the needs of the country and *_all_* its people ahead of the needs of the smaller group, composed just of people they identify with. And will do so without needing to tell anyone, or to feel self-righteous.
@AlexLoeher I find your contributions thought provoking and persuasive. For what it's worth, you have moved me closer to your position by sharing those thoughts, and if even 1 TH-camr in 20 was as reasonable it would be a much better place, I reckon
This infuriated me into wasting my time with TH-cam comments. I'm glad to come down here and see many others pointing this out. Worse yet, in the interview before this with Sen. Klobuchar she did the same thing. Steven asked her twice to hold her colleagues accountable and she skirted around the question and focused all of her rhetoric towards trump. I find it so pathetic how transparent these politicians are with their agendas. It's a disgrace. Now that there are few days left for trump, they're all willing to speak up. Pathetic.
If he isn’t removed tomorrow morning, we will know what a farce this democracy is. A man unfit to control his own Twitter account cannot be left in this position of power for another day, let alone two more weeks.
So he decided to hide in his office and tell his staff to not come in the office for work and Yet didn't warn any of his colleagues, on the floor, of what may happen and they too should take cover? .........Gotcha
You're too hung up on him being Republican and cherry picking because of that. He only has power over his staff, not all people in the entire people in building.
If I'm in a meeting even with coworkers I don’t like and I’m on my phone knowing some of them are presenting and not privy to the same knowledge I would let them know we need to evacuate. What happened to see something say something? Republican or not that struck me as flat out wrong.

Steven: "If you had another chance, would you vote to impeach the president?"
Kinzinger: "I would certainly probably consider that."
So it's a no.
He did run and hide in his office before anyone else..no pics of him with has mask on...so brave.
Yep, it was a "No" loud and clear, and he threw in that rehearsed tiny laugh politicans use to let reporters know they think they are dumb for asking such a question
Certainly probably??? Wtf?..
Yeah, I noticed that too. Even after ALL THAT he still says "Probably"??? what a weasel.
I found that answer astounding!!!
"Would you impeach him back then if you had the chance?"
"If I knew then what I know today."
Seriously, dude. So the first 3 years were just peachy keen with no criminality? Bullshit. Don't try to act like the good guy now.
And even then he would not necessarily impeach him, but only probably consider it
When my girlfriend asks me if I love her, I’ll say I certainly probably consider it.
Rep. Kinzinger voted against Impeachment. You had your chance. You reap what you sow... 😌
Prosecute for complicate
Well no, but it's a good point.
@Robert Éiva I caught that too!
"A big difference before the election and after election, when you try to undermine the very pinnings of democracy, significantly dangerous" suggesting NOW he MIGHT vote to convict . . .
How is using the power of the US military to strong arm a weakened ally state, Ukraine, into inventing dirt on your political adversary NOT "undermining the very pinnings of democracy"?? this guy is a hypocrite of the highest degree.
I honestly don't believe they saw it coming. What irks me is that neither him, nor those like him, would listen to people, with far more experience, who knew exactly what was coming.
This is a guy who voted against impeachment.
@Mr.comments He just recommended invoking the 25th Amendment
@@ifermaglich4985 too little too late. The writing was on the wall for years now. This is political pandering. He's doing the right thing but for the wrong reason. This was obvious last year during the first impeachment
every republican voted against it except Romney
Next time they might come for him
It's ALMOST like their being hypocrite's. Oh wait....
He said, “We.”
When Trump finally addressed the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol, he said, “We love you, and you are very special.”
When Trump, in this context, in his capacity as President, says “We,” he means America. He is speaking for all of us, whether we agree with him or not. I can’t be the only one bothered by this. It was bad enough to see the President of the United States declare his love for domestic terrorists publicly, but it’s unforgivable that he invoked We, the People as he did it.
Absolutely right!
Well stated. It's disgusting.
No different then how the news tells us how we feel or think.

In other words: If he had known it then, he *might* still possibly not have considered voting for impeachment

Wouldn’t vote for it then. Won’t vote for it now.
Did he not infer it from all the war mongering his President did from Twitter the last four years? Why act surprised now?
“I would certainly probably consider it.”
*quickly changes subject
What a rat.
Eh, tbf he called for the 25th.
Rats are sweet and smart.
I went straight to the comments after that line. Certainly possibly consider, give me a break bro
He actually posted a video on Twitter calling for the 25th amendment
I agree, and also if today was the only red flag on the republicans attitude either he is an idiot or a first degree accomplice.

He eventually came to see the light.

@@dahawk8574 Yea, now instead he says given another chance that he would "certainly likely consider impeachment..." Well didn't he already consider impeachment, and in his consideration he voted against it... So then given another opportunity, while knowing what he knows now, he would certainly consider impeachment as b4, what's likely is that he would vote as against it as well, since he makes no mention of reconsidering anything really...
Yup
EVERYONE who was paying attention should have seen this coming! I am surprised it was not worse.
Don't be, cuz it's not done.
There aren’t enough prisons for those who’ve committed insurrection.
@@michaelawford7325 There is if we only send the lawmakers and violent protesters. We just need to release all of the non-violent drug offenders. Prisons are about to get a lot whiter, which should make Trump's supporters happy right?
What makes you think this is over?
You could see it coming in 2016.
"Will you vote for impeachment?" "I will certainly probably consider that": That's still a spineless coward. Sorry. 6:38
He ended up voting for impeachment
If everyone suspected or “knew” it was coming, where was the National Guard?
Trump didn’t call them in it was actually Pence who did it
All those changes trump made at the pentagon right after the election led up to this....he got his cronies in charge so he could stage this with minimal resistance!
DoD wouldn't release them until after.
Our system isn't set up for a "mad king" situation, it's normally the president's responsibility to call on the national guard in DC. Pence eventually was in contact with the department of defense but the VP actually has zero authority in our government and doesn't have the authority to call for the national guard. The VP can only have the cabinet invoke the 25th amendment, which he should have done.
This event was known for weeks. They were poorly organised and it seems it may have been on purpose.
Where were all the "patriotic law enforcers" tonight that Barr used to teargas families in Lafayett park this summer? It's a federal responsibility to protect federal buildings and property. Tonight, DC and Capitol police were let down by DOJ and DHS.
Wearing red hats.
Come on let's be honest you know where they were they were a part of the protest. Have you ever seen Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus in the same room at the same time?

@@alecb9190 oh hell yeah.
"I knew it was coming."
Where was the police? Where was the military? Why was no one prepared? Why could it happen?
Same reason Epstein ended up dead unguarded. When the GOP needs to do dirty business, those who run forces and burn crosses step out for a smoke.
8 weeks to prepare and nothing.... Sad 😥
He such a coward. Why didn’t he tell his colleagues to get added security? Why did he leave the floor without warning his colleagues?
The Capital Police need to be armed with 12 gauge pump shotguns & 00 Buckshot...
@Tirzah Israel that is just straight up false, riot tactics are designed for small numbers of police to control large crowds, see: every blm protest ever. The reason wasn't because they were out numbered, it was either because it wasn't clear who was in charge or someone explicitly ordered them to stand down. Once the mayor of dc stepped up to take command, shit started getting done

Treason in so many words.

That quote stood out to me as well 😤
Politicians are as politicians do.
Sadly,
I noticed that he was quick to call Puerto Ricans terrorists- but can't say it about people who look like him.
TBF the Puerto Rican nationalist's attack was textbook terrorism. What happened today was worse; an attempted insurrection by traitors, and Kizinger did recognize that. There's a difference between people attempting to foster terror for ideological or personal gain, and people knowingly attempting to overthrow the constitution and lawfully elected representatives of the people. It's fine distinction, but traitors have a deeper pit in hell.
er, i missed that , when and why did he call PRs terrorists?
Not to defend him, but he said "separatists".

@@JoshSweetvale that's a pretty extreme view that largely ignores the factors that create terrorists. If another country--say China, England, or Russia--staged a military intervention to "bring peace and democracy to the US" and started shooting those they deemed to be terrorist threats, would you be okay with that? I bet you wouldn't.
If, say, it wasn't another country, but was an AI computer system installed by the US government that gave either machines or it's own form of human police authority to execute people on sight that it deemed to be terrorists or criminals, would you be okay with that? I bet not.
It's easy to call for people to be shot, until you're the one getting shot at because you've been misidentified, mischaracterised, or whoever is doing the shooting is using a criteria that, whether you or other people agree or not, is what they went with.
Some people might call the rise of such a system to be another form of totalitarianism or authoritarianism. It's important to not become what you want to prevent.
I bet if you got to know some of the people who were part of the riots without knowing they were there, you'd humanise them a bit and understand their reasons, even if you don't agree or condone their actions. The point being, we need to do something about the reasons people do things like invade a government building, rather than just killing them and pretending they're the root cause of the issue. They're not.
Agreed. Every last one of those violent RWNJ's who stormed the capital needs to be arrested and charged with acts of terrorism against the US. These "Y'all Qaeda" inbreeds should be sent Guantanamo indefinitely.

“I’d certainly, probably consider that” That’s the most non answer I’ve ever heard🤦♂️
No balls. No spine
I take it that he never considered it the first time.
It was deflection at it’s best 😑. Makes me wanna puke 🤮
He sounded reasonable most of the time with Stephen but this assured me that he's not to be trusted.
It was a very clear answer -- "I would vote the exact same way"
"I'm not going to get into naming names" and thus he stops short of actual courage.
@AlexLoeher On moral equivalence, OK, your point is well taken: He's definitely in a different category from the vast bulk of his colleagues who remain far beyond the human pale, by continuing the charade of contesting the EC votes on behalf of the coup leader even after the failed coup attempt.
And OK again: full marks to Kinsinger for calling the coup by that name.
But I would have liked to hear more honest soul searching about his reasons for not voting to impeach. It cannot be that he did not know that Trump would try to steal the election, given that he's been angling in plain sight to do exactly that ever since conspicuously going through the motions (and, plausibly, the actions) of stealing the last one while insisting that his opponent had.
Even without Kinsinger noticing that, Trump's documented obstructions of justice (in the Mueller report, and around the Ukraine extortion attempt) were beyond sufficient reason to rule out having him spend another hour in office.
Let's not beat about the bush here: dismissing "his" Attorney General, for the stated reasons, was borderline impeachable. The AG is not the President's AG, and absolutely not (as Barr was) the President's personal consigliere: he's the People's AG, and failure to understand that is (or should be) disqualifying.
The frogs of the GOP were not coaxed into lukewarm water which was slowly brought to the boil: the frogs were shown the water boiling. with arrows pointing to the bubbles, before the election. Trump was openly turning on the elements within minutes of descending the escalator, and the likes of Cruz and Lindsey were warning the other frogs by accurately and insightfully skewering all of his disqualifying characteristics from day one. They, in particular, should rot in hell for caving as they did, putting personal power ahead of the people they pretend to want to serve.
And while Kinsinger is definitely in a different class, but I cannot find it in myself to consider him in remission, a loyal American, given that he STILL will not commit to impeach even with what has just happened.
Too much patriotism is a bad thing, but so is too little. And "coming to Jesus" is not totally convincing when done with reservations.
Is "actual" courage anything like courage?
@@hijodelaisla275 Actual, as distinct from phony. Similarly there are actual Christians (who believe in Christ's teachings) vs the phony sort (who would run Jesus out of town for having long hair, no shoes and being in possession of a donkey not his own) and there are self-declared patriots.
Rule of thumb : if you have to declare yourself a patriot then you are almost certainly virtue signalling, and not an actual patriot, the latter being a person who will put the needs of the country and *_all_* its people ahead of the needs of the smaller group, composed just of people they identify with.
And will do so without needing to tell anyone, or to feel self-righteous.
@AlexLoeher I find your contributions thought provoking and persuasive. For what it's worth, you have moved me closer to your position by sharing those thoughts, and if even 1 TH-camr in 20 was as reasonable it would be a much better place, I reckon
This infuriated me into wasting my time with TH-cam comments. I'm glad to come down here and see many others pointing this out.
Worse yet, in the interview before this with Sen. Klobuchar she did the same thing. Steven asked her twice to hold her colleagues accountable and she skirted around the question and focused all of her rhetoric towards trump. I find it so pathetic how transparent these politicians are with their agendas. It's a disgrace. Now that there are few days left for trump, they're all willing to speak up. Pathetic.

All they have to do is write a "Motion for Reconsideration" (of the impeachment decision) and re-vote. It's a one-page motion. Get it done. So simple a paralegal could write it.
I am curious would they have to go back to congress, get the vote and then go to the Senate or just the senate?
