Rep. James Clyburn Suggests Capitol Hill Riot Was An Inside Job

The peaceful protests by angered Trump supporters quickly spiraled into a riot and mob that infiltrated Capitol Hill and resulted in multiple deaths. Many have questioned how a mob of Trumpers was able to gain access to Capitol Hill with such ease. One member of congress has offered his opinion. House Majority Whip James Clyburn has said that he feels as if the rioters had some help, or at least knew some precise details, about his comings and goings.

“I have an unmarked office—you got to know exactly where it is,” Clyburn told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “It’s where I spend most of my time doing my work as the majority whip. I have a staff who work real hard trying to keep up with the members—trying to make sure they do an effective job of managing the votes once they get to the floor.” Clyburn continues on to note that although his work office, where he actually does all his work, is not labeled, his traditional office in the building does have his name on it.

“For some reason, these people showed up at that office. But the office where my name is on the door … was not disturbed,” he explained. “I’m just saying, they didn’t go to where my name was—they went where I usually hang out. So that to me indicates something untoward may have been going on.”

Clyburn has made similar comments throughout the week. “I do believe that something was going on,” Clyburn told CBS anchor Lana Zak. “They knew where to go. I’ve been told, by some other Congresspeople that their staff are saying that they saw people being allowed into the building through side doors. Who opened those side doors for these protesters, or I call them these mobsters, to come into the building, not through the main entrance where magnetometers are but through side doors. Yes, somebody on the inside of those buildings were complicit in this.” The madness did force Trump to finally concede, as it appears he has finally accepted defeat.

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
