‘They’ ran with the narrative, got in front of it quickly, and along with a cooperating media........proclaimed an ‘insurrection’
I have no doubt......no doubt....they did what was described....and worse
Also, were these ‘Capitol police’ the real deal or hired goons.
I have not been in Washington DC for near on 30 years, but from video & photographs, it seems to me that vast majority of the Po-Po there are Affirmative Action hires. IMHO, that puts them in the “hired goon” column.
They can't be both?
