In the full video recorded by the man who claims to have brought a bomb to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., obtained by National File this afternoon, the man identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry says he wants Joe Biden to lead a series of strikes on Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban, and offers this as his only demand.
The over 31-minute video, originally live streamed to Roseberry’s Facebook account before it was taken down either by the big tech platform or at the orders of federal authorities, features the man identified as Roseberry offering a stream of conscious rant in which he repeatedly asserts that he cannot detonate the bomb, that there are four more bombs located throughout Washington, D.C., and that the bomb was made originally by a veteran of the United States Armed Forces.
Repeatedly, the man identified as Roseberry discusses Afghanistan. At the end of the video, he lists one demand for Joe Biden: that he resume the war in Afghanistan by immediately striking the Taliban forces that conquered the country during his bungled withdrawal. The man has since surrendered to federal law enforcement.
“This bomb’s going off because it was built by y’alls people, the people y’all had in the military, y’all were the ones that trained the man to build it, he blowed his legs off to build it, so this thing’s right,” said the man identified as Roseberry at one point. Later, he added, “Your military expertise built this, your military expertise, Joe. All by decibels.”
Previously, National File reported that the man ranted about Afghanistan. In the video posted to Twitter earlier today, the man identified as Roseberry said “I don’t want to die Joe, I want to go home, just like the people in Afghanistan want to go home,” the man ranted. “Them people’s lives are on your hands, all them dead people’s on your hands. Afghanistan I’m standing for you strong, because the motherfuckers should have bombed their asses and made sure you was alright before they left.”

In the full video, he adds at one point, “You got all them people dying in Afghanistan, all them kids been raped, just let the Taliban run right through.” Later, he adds, “I’ll tell you what they want. First thing they want is terror strikes in Afghanistan. Kick that Taliban’s ass and keep them from killing people.”
He also demanded Joe Biden’s resignation, but insisted “This ain’t about politics, this ain’t got nothing to do with politics, I don’t care if Donald Trump ever becomes president” again.
