New video shows Romney running to safety as rioters breach security

House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a chilling new video at former President Trump’s impeachment trial showing Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman redirecting Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) in the halls of the Senate to protect him from the mob storming the Capitol.

Democrat Stacey Plaskett, a delegate from the Virgin Islands, narrated the never-before-seen footage.

In the video, Romney can be seen striding toward the Senate chamber. Goodman is running toward him and can be seen shouting orders at him as he passes, causing Romney to quickly turn around and run for safety. 

“Officer Goodman passes Sen. Mitt Romney and directs him to turn around in order to get to safety,” Plaskett said.

“On the first floor, just beneath them, the mob had already started to search for the Senate chamber. Officer Goodman made his way down to the first floor where he encountered the same insurrectionists we just saw breach the Capitol,” she said.

Plaskett, who is one of the House Democratic impeachment managers, introduced new footage to underscore how lawmakers and former Vice President Mike Pence were in danger during the siege.

The new video shows rioters stalking the hallways in search of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with taunting calls of “Nancy, oh Nancy” as they streamed into the building.

The new footage also includes images of Pence escaping out the back of the Senate chamber shortly before Trump tweeted that he and his supporters had been let down by Pence.

    Not a bit of this impressed the Trump cult. Josh Hawley, for example, was busy reading from what I hear. Their minds have already been made up for them by Trump and they are going to acquit as their master told them to do.

    When they vote to acquit, their names should go on a “Dishonor Roll” and when they run for re-election, that roll should be trotted out. Remember their names.
