House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a chilling new video at former President Trump’s impeachment trial showing Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman redirecting Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) in the halls of the Senate to protect him from the mob storming the Capitol.

Democrat Stacey Plaskett, a delegate from the Virgin Islands, narrated the never-before-seen footage.

In the video, Romney can be seen striding toward the Senate chamber. Goodman is running toward him and can be seen shouting orders at him as he passes, causing Romney to quickly turn around and run for safety.

“Officer Goodman passes Sen. Mitt Romney and directs him to turn around in order to get to safety,” Plaskett said.

1. Romney was walking right into harm's way.

[Pachamama]

3. Officer Goodman saved Romney

Tapped him and told him to turn around as he ran to face the mob and lead them away from the Senate Chamber...

Officer Goodman is truly a hero....

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes Goodman saved Romney's life.

[Pachamama]

6. Romney knows it

I cannot even imagine he isn’t grateful and that he is a yes vote on impeachment and removal and prohibition of Trump ever holding public office.

7. Certainly a normal person would feel that way. But GOP senators are not normal people.

They are either racists or sociopaths. Or both.

9. +1 n/t

2. The GOP Senators were inches away from being assaulted

and yet they'll give Trump a free pass? How insane are they?

[Pachamama]

8. They are afraid

Afraid of the mob...

Afraid of other?



(I have long believed that the vast majority of them including Graham and Cruz are all being threatened and blackmailed)

[Irish_Dem]

10. Some of them assisted with the insurrection. They are guilty too.

So they cannot find Trump guilty.

5. Does anyone doubt what would have happened if they had seen him

?

[Irish_Dem]

11. After today, no doubt at all. nt

12. New riot video shows Officer Goodman point Romney to safety

By NOMAAN MERCHANT

During the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Democrats revealed new footage of a U.S. Capitol Police officer hailed for his heroism during the Jan. 6 insurrection, this time directing Sen. Mitt Romney to turn around and head in the opposite direction of rioters storming the building.

The response under fire of Eugene Goodman and other officers during the Jan. 6 attack was central to the arguments made by impeachment managers seeking a conviction against the former president. In the footage, Romney is seen walking toward the rioters until an officer turns him around and he runs in the other direction.

“I was very fortunate indeed that Officer Goodman was there to get me in the right direction,” Romney told reporters later.

Wearing a suit and tie and a mask with a blue line, Goodman stood inside the U.S. Senate chamber, watching as the footage was shown of his efforts to save lives.

13. Romney will vote to convict. There are many Republicans those lives were saved who won't.
