You are correct about the tunnel, which is routinely used. Also, why did they go en masse?
There was no indication of any reactions from nearby Capitol Police. And they absolutely saturated the entire complex today. Believe me, if there was something of an untoward nature directed at a congressman (or in this case a group) the Capitol Police would certainly have stepped in. So someone needs to ask why they didn’t, which would force them to find and look at the tape.
I thought about that after seeing them go through, knowing that there’s a tunnel from the Capitol building to the offices (I’ve been down there before). Also, most of the Congressmen who came out were on our side (Gohmert, Pence, Blackburn are some who I met yesterday). Looking back, I think they made a concious effort to go out though the crowd, so they could then run to their allies in the lapdog media and do what they always to—play the race card.
