Democratic lawmakers say the threat of domestic extremism remains high almost one month after protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
With six floors, 600 rooms and 1.5 million square feet, the U.S. Capitol Building is vast – and a challenge to adequately secure.
The major debate in security circles right now is whether it’s best to protect the Capitol with high fences, gates and a visible police force, or protect it from the inside by dominating the points of entry.
Capitol Police have proposed high, permanent fencing around the Capitol grounds. The idea is opposed by DC’s Mayor and members of Congress.
The House took an unprecedented step Tuesday night, voting to levy hefty fines against colleagues who bypass the recently installed metal detectors that surround the chamber.
The fines — $5,000 for the first violation, $10,000 for any thereafter — are just the latest security measure to be implemented in an attempt to reassure members and their staff that the House is safe. But that remains an elusive goal, lawmakers said Tuesday as they returned to a Capitol still surrounded by concrete barricades and barbed wire.
And one video allegedly shows that the U.S. Capitol unveiled a new warning system that signals the building is under attack.
Video below:
We can’t confirm the validity of the video even do residents that live in Washington say they saw the hologram.
People alleged who is on the hologram and Michael Jackson and AOC got the most votes:
I wish the Dems would put 1/8th the effort into the horrible riots, looting, fires, and murders that went on this summer. The second it happened to them, they shut Washington down, sent in an unheard-of amount of Guardsmen, without a plan to feed and house them.
If AOC can be in the Capitol building when she really wasn’t, then your average Trump supporting American can be placed there. The story is whatever our UNiparty say it is.
Looks like they’re practicing. The Democrats don’t feel safe enough with 30,000 troops and barbed wire fences.
Will they have a tip jar there?
Just for the record when the White House was attacked and stoned by mobs, scores of Secret Service and other Federal officers were badly injured. Has the Department of Justice arrested or prosecuted any of the violent rioters?

Our Capitol is now a safe space for the Left.
Safety over liberty!
Right wing extremism ... doubting the election, so therefore terrorist.
Left wing mostly peaceful protestors ... pay no attention to the fires, the looting, the murders and the beating.
I call it their Just-Us.
The Capitol can have a fence, but the country can’t........
Don’t we have live people all over the place?? And don’t they have communication with security people?
They didn’t do a damn thing when antifa and BLM tried to breach the White House grounds, attacked capitol police and secret service last summer.
How much did they pay for the smoke signals? Like you said, the smoke signal “Capitol under attack” alarm won’t be visible during daylight. Don’t they still have police radios?
So Nancy Pelosi got fined $5000 for by passing the metal detector...right??
Isn’t that from AOC’s staged pic at a chain-link fence, pretending that she was crying over caged children at the border?
I think it was originally 300 police. Offer for more were turned down by the mayor and others...didn’t like the image of a large contingent. How’d that work out??
