Last year on Jan. 6, the day , The Daily Show‘s Jordan Klepper was on the ground in Washington, D.C., reporting for the show. During the course of the day, Klepper and his crew faced harassment from the rioters (one of whom also ).
This year on Jan. 6, he returned. In the video above, Klepper speaks to people holding a “vigil” for the , interviews more of the same angry protestors he usually speaks to at these events, and tracks down Rep. Matt Gaetz — who is — to a press conference he’s holding alongside Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (the congressman is planning to “walk the grounds that patriotic Americans walked from the White House to the Capitol”).
“Hey Matt Gaetz, if you are going to re-enact the events of January 6th, who is going to take a shit in the rotunda?” calls out Klepper, referencing the feces Trump supporters smeared on the Capitol walls. “And also, who is going to ?”
Klepper is moved aside by security, but before Gaetz has time climb into a waiting car he manages to get in one last question: “Isn’t this a little bit childish, Matt, or is that what attracts you to this?”
Gaetz doesn’t respond.
