Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times National Security Correspondent Matthew Rosenberg was caught on hidden camera video by Project Veritas saying liberals overreacted to Capitol riot, contrary to his previous reporting on the situation.

Watch James O’Keefe confront Rosenberg about his comments:
The Washington Times further reports:
“The left’s overreaction – the left’s reaction to it in some places was so over the top that it gave the opening the right needed to start introducing the idea of, ‘Whoa, these people are out of control. Like, it’s not as big of a deal they’re making it,’” Mr. Rosenberg said on the video. “Because they were making it too big a deal.”
He continued: “They were making it this organized thing that it wasn’t, and that gave the opening for lunatics on the right to be like, ‘Oh, well, nothing happened here. It was just a peaceful bunch of tourists,’ you know. And it’s like — but nobody wants to hear that.”
Rosenberg also appears to mock coworkers who said they were “traumatized” over the alleged insurrection last year, calling two colleagues, Emily Cochrane and Nicholas Fandos, “f—ing bitches” and refers to other co-workers as “f—ing little dweebs,” the footage shows.

The New York Post adds:
Project Veritas released footage Tuesday showing Matthew Rosenberg, who covers national security for the Gray Lady, mocking coworkers who said they were “traumatized” over the insurrection last year.

In the comments captured by the conservative outlet known for its media sting operations, Rosenberg also talked about the rumored “pee tape” of former President Donald Trump, calling it “ridiculous” and saying it “of course doesn’t exist.”
These comments run counter to Rosenberg and The New York Times’s previous reporting on the U.S. Capitol riot. (RELATED: Flashback – New York Times Buried Kenosha Article Until After Election, Says Ex-Reporter)
Neither The Times nor Rosenberg have responded to requests for comment.
Yeah, but how many people are going to see this video? Only the people who already knew it was not an “armed” insurrection as it was labeled. Because nobody was armed except for Pelosi’s gestapo. They were the only ones doing any killing that day too. Nobody was even reprimanded for that. Who’s going to set the record straight with all the morons that rely on CNN to get their news? It’s all well and good to have evidence of wrong doing by the commies in Washington and their propaganda ministers in media, but unless you prop these morons eyelids open and force them to watch, like in a Clockwork Orange, it’s not going to make any difference.
The Republican mid-term slogan ought to be “Hold them Accountable”! Maybe that’s what Sleepy Joe meant at the end of his SOTU “Go get’em”
Of course the left wing liberal media over reacted. That’s what they do when they want something negative to say about the right. That was no more an insurrection than the blm, antifa, and the rest of those radical left criminals that did their rioting, looting, and burning of several of our cities in their so called “peaceful” protest marches. Of course nothing happened to them, they were released almost as fast as they were rounded up by the police. The taxpayers, and store owners, were the ones stuck with paying the bill to fix all the millions of dollars of damages.
