Republican senator refuses to discuss new footage of MAGA rioters smashing up his office

New footage shows insurrectionists on January 6 destroying the office of Sen. #Jim #Risch (R-ID).

However, the conservative Republican has nothing to say about it when pressed by reporters, as NBC News revealed on Thursday

"Video shows a #rioter — who has pleaded guilty to driving a #stun #gun into a police officer's neck, nearly killing him — #smashing out Risch's window overlooking the Washington Monument and the national mall in an attempt to let more rioters into the building," reported Ryan J. Reilly and Sahil Kapur.

"Additional video released this week shows Risch's #trashed #desk, including what looks like a framed campaign image bearing his last name."

That rioter, #Daniel #Rodriguez, boasted openly to his friends that he "#Tazzzzed the f**k out of the blue" and now faces a likely sentence of 7-10 years in prison.

But Risch, who represents a state where Trump remains highly popular, didn't want to comment on the matter
