Officers’ concerns were echoed by some Democrats who have been speaking out about the state of security at the Capitol, and the potential involvement of members in the planning of the insurrection. One of the officers said it’s not unusual for members of Congress to bring dozens of people at once and insist that visitors be waved past security. At one point today, officers set up tables around the metal detectors in an effort to block Republicans from just walking by them. “Officers are fuming and there are mumbles of several walking off the job,” one officer with more than 10 years on the force told BuzzFeed News - just as Republicans took to the floor last night to rail against even basic security measures. Even after last week’s deadly attack, some Republican members refused to go through metal detectors, pushing their way past Capitol Police officers. Officers told BuzzFeed News that members of Congress often see security as optional. Which leads me to this story:Īfter seeing one of their colleagues killed last Wednesday, Capitol Police officers are angry that Republican members of Congress refuse to submit to the security changes put in place since then, and say they wouldn’t even be surprised if some lawmakers helped organize the attack. How would that even happen? It shows a really shocking level of planning ahead of the assault. Ayanna Pressley’s chief of staff revealed to the Boston Globe that when staffers barricaded themselves in the office, they began looking for the panic buttons installed years ago, only to find the panic button units ripped out. There’s evidence of coordination between Republican House members and the terrorists before the attack. There’s evidence of communication between people in the White House and the MAGA terrorists ON THE DAY.
There’s also a lot of anecdotal evidence piling up that there were many terrorists who had a plan to take hostages, to barricade themselves in the Capitol, and to murder prominent members of Congress and VP Mike Pence. If anything, people in and around Congress are angrier now that they understand the extent of what happened on that day, and what happened before that day. Soon after the Capitol siege on the 6th, many Congressmen and Congresswomen began comparing stories, and telling their versions of what happened during the attack by MAGA terrorists.
