Footage only recently surfaced in the case against Capitol rioter Richard Avirett revealed that a number of insurrectionists entered and trashed the office of Republican Idaho Senator Jim Risch during the MAGA rampage, something which Risch would not acknowledge to NBC News this week.
“I don’t do interviews on Jan. 6, but thanks,” Risch said to a reported asking for comment on the newly released footage. “Thanks for asking,” he added when asked again, probably knowing full well that simply acknowledging that he was targeted by the kind of assholes who voted for him could be the top of a slippery slope that ends with him being primaried by some MAGA psychopath.
