I suppose they could say they were escorting him out of the building, but Tucker played the video in reverse...
Good question.
If you want a serious answer, here it is.
What would you have the police in the Capitol do that day? They were vastly outnumbered and a crowd that size could start causing real damage to the building. Damage that could not be replaced.
Anyone suggesting it was “legal” to walk onto the Senate floor without the permission of the Senate is in for a shock. It’s not. It never has been. And it certainly wouldn’t be after they announced the building closed.
I am not suggesting this was an insurrection, because I don’t think it was. I am suggesting it was a pretty well behaved mob. But it was a mob. Any police officer would tell you that you need to avoid turning a well behaved mob into a riot.
What should be happening in the media is a balanced review of such things. Instead, we have a bunch of excitable boys spouting off from behind their keyboards. As with most history, the truth will come out years down the road.
