Leslie Jones will be on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Thursday night, but she spent much of Wednesday live rage-tweeting MSNBC's coverage of the siege of the Capitol by supporters of President Trump, and it's a shouting catharsis we needed throughout the day.
She began her running commentary by calmly wondering why the police response to this event was so different than the police response to Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

Then she wondered how much more Donald Trump, whose rhetoric incited the siege, has to do "for us to go 'STOP IT, MOTHERF**KER!'"

While openly asking Rachel Maddow if this is enough grounds for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power, she also took a moment to appreciate Nicole Wallace's wardrobe.

After listening to Trump's Wednesday speech to his supporters, she pointed out just how "DE-LU-SION-AL" the man is.

When Congress resumed its session after the insurgents had been cleared, she watched the speeches and objections on the floor and compared it to a rap battle. "Everybody's gettin' up and spittin' their sh*t. Some of them is wack-ass lyrics."
THIS IS FUCKING USELESS WHY?! pic.twitter.com/gObVpoNhks

When Josh Hawley began to speak, Jones called him out. "Who are you makin' your speech to, b**ch? 'Cause you ain't looked at nobody in the room, you're lookin' straight at the camera! No one believes you. You are a f**king liar!" She dropped f-bombs for days.
Don’t be fooled people! THIS MF IS WORST THAN TRUMP!! pic.twitter.com/QrP651hTVF

She did take a break from the anger to ask Claire McCaskill some serious questions about her interior decor.

Even while raging about how the insurgents were just taking a tour of the Captiol building rather than protesting for thelr lives like BLM does, she made sure to compliment MSNBC's Phil Rucker on his background.
This is very stupid and embarrassing!! pic.twitter.com/fQcZEUMwe5

She wrapped up the night (at least at the time of this writing) while Congress took a recess after the objections, wondering "do our tax dollars pay for motherf**kers to interrupt and they go on a two-hour break when they go in a room and fart and then come out and make a decision that's already made?"
Yeah I’m going off and I said what said!! pic.twitter.com/Kd8QdM2Pwu

Andy Hunsaker has a head full of sitcom gags and nerd-genre lore, and can be followed @AndyHunsaker if you're into that sort of thing.
