'Who Won The 2020 Election?': Blumenthal Gets Extremely Irritated Grilling Trump Judge Nominee

Published | Video Starts at 03:13

As I as you noted, the Supreme Court has described it as a breach at the Capitol. Justice Barrett said that a mob of rioters breached the Capitol. And Judge Timothy Kelly, also a Trump appointee, said, quote, as the court has said many times, the attack on The Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a perilous event. It was an attack on people, including police officers, many of whom were injured. Do you think Judge Kelly is being less careful than he should be calling it an attack. I want to be careful with my own personal response and all of the attacks against law enforcement, again, I completely condemn. (03:13–03:33)
