**Topics:** Current events commentary

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Clips of the Capitol riot and Trump's 'go home, we love you' video, with Mufti Abu Layth's mocking commentary.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth plays clips about the storming of the US Capitol, including a protester describing being pushed out, and remarks that Americans never do anything by halves. He compares it to the House of Commons being stormed by the public and calls it an international crisis. He then plays Donald Trump's video telling the rioters that the election was stolen but that they must go home in peace, and that 'we love you'. He mocks the response, saying this is how Trump deals with what some would interpret as almost treason, and says that had Black Lives Matter protesters attempted the same, it would probably have ended within seconds with protesters gunned down.
