WAIT.....just a darn minute......isn’t McCarthy partly in charge...and, the one who orders security, like Nasty did?
What say he? Did the CapPo override?
I found this....
The Sergeant at Arms of the House, under the direction of the speaker, is responsible for security, along with the U.S. Capitol Police.
Would McCarty direct them to put up the fence?
In light of him removing the metal detectors and putting things back to normal, I find it hard to believe.
