Rep. Karen Bass is outraged and saddened about the ordeal she and all of Congress endured — and can’t help thinking the Capitol attack would’ve been thwarted if rioters weren’t Trump supporters.

The Congresswoman from California’s 37th district joined “TMZ Live” Thursday to recount the terror of the moment lawmakers had to be evacuated … a shocking event she calls ironic … in a couple of ways.

First of all, Bass says she anticipated things getting dicey on the streets of D.C. … but she told her family she’d be safe and sound inside the typically heavily guarded Capitol.

Secondly, she believes the protesters-turned-rioters were almost enabled by the authorities to do what they did. Rep. KB says it stands in stark contrast to what happened during last summer’s Black Lives Matter demonstrations.

Her implication is pretty clear, and it all comes back to President Trump … who still has 13 days left in office. If you think Bass isn’t concerned about that even though the riots are over … think again.

As she points out … it’s not just his actions yesterday that are troubling, but his behavior on social media over the course of his presidency and his plethora of recent lamed duck hirings and firings

So, no, Bass doesn’t think we are out of the woods yet … which is why some members of Congress are looking to invoke the 25th Amendment or impeach Trump (again).
