.@Sen_JoeManchin this morning on @580WCHS Live, discussing the mob at the Capitol this week, going on to discuss the actions of new #WVgov Delegate Derrick Evans

soundcloud.com/user-997030743…

"I just can't believe that a person that's been elected as a public official, who takes the same oath of office that everyone else takes to defend and protect the Constitution would be entering into the Capitol, an insurrection, to overthrow a lawful procedure we have to do"

"in order to form our government and our democracy and keep the Republic alive and well."

Manchin on Evans: "He would pay the ultimate price, I would hope. He should."

Manchin: "I guarantee the FBI will do their job. I don't know the person. It's very, very bad judgment. Very poor judgment."

Of note, the governor suggested America should just get through the next 11 days and does not call for President Trump to resign or be impeached a second time

Justice, who has spoken fondly of his personal relationships with President Trump and Don Jr.: "From the standpoint of the Trump family, there's no way they really condoned what was happening with the invasion of our Capitol."

From the story: #WVgov Senator Mike Azinger said he and the group he was with, including his sons and some friends, walked that way but were at the back of the crowd. newsandsentinel.com/news/local-new…

Also: antifa ate my homework

I'm always interested in who has a Wikipedia page and who doesn't. Anyway, Azinger has one and appears to have been edited today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Azin…

"Evans traveled to Washington, D.C., and knowingly and willfully joined and encouraged a crowd of individuals who forcibly entered the U.S. Capitol and impeded, disrupted and disturbed the orderly conduct of business by the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate."

for anyone saying Evans just sashayed in, with cops throwing roses at his feet

"We're at the door now. There's cops on the inside stopping us now."

"The door is cracked."

"We're going in!"

"Move, move, move!"
