In the first few statements the narrator says in effect, "the riot began, with many coming from the rally at the White House joining in." Note he did not say, ALL (100%) of those who approached the capitol building came from the rally, which confirms what those who were there have said, it was Antifa operatives, who were bussed in and gathered separately, who arrived first and had already broken through the exterior barriers, those fences, and it was those same operatives who took the next step once the crowd had paused on the steps OUTSIDE of the capitol building. It was Antifa idiots who actually broke the glass and forced entry into the building.Quote:

Of course, in that chaos and under the circumstances, they stupidly participated in the melee and are "guilty" of poor judgment.
I have since spoken directly to two people who were there. One stopped just inside of where the first barrier had been and went no closer to the capitol building. He/she says verbal reports were coming back to them, such as "some people have entered the building," and shouts of "those are Antifa!" with people pointing at some who had instigated the breaking down of the fences. The second person got closer, climbing the steps and witnessed confrontations between supporters and Antifa thugs. Shouts of "don't listen to them, don't follow them" went ignored by some. He/she told me there is no doubt it was planted Antifa thugs. None of this excuses those claiming to be Trump supporters who entered the building and some who probably joined in the physical destruction of property. They got caught up in the violence and like stupid sheep, followed the "leaders" of the attack.
I have received a few messages from others who say they knew nothing of the mess at the capitol building until they had returned to their hotel room and saw it on the news. Nothing...NOTHING...violent or even remotely alarming at happened at the rally at the White House. Yes, they knew that some of the crowd was going to walk to the capitol building to chant and cheer on and provide vocal support for the challenge to the results going on inside. And that is exactly what Trump had said too. Trump, in his naivety, actually thought Pence was going to invoke that provision which would have set aside the election results and placed it in the hands of state legislatures, or by proxy vote, and of which the GOP controls 37 state legislatures. That notion had been all over social media and the Net for weeks. And that was the plan, as I understand it. I wished those who were going a safe trip and good luck, and "stay out of trouble." And many thought the plan would work and all they would do is be there to cheer the news as it was announced. I sincerely think Donald Trump thought so too, which is effectively what he said several times and said again that day, and why he was shocked and then pissed at Pence who did nothing like that.
I mean how STUPID do you have to be to believe that Donald Trump had a plan that he thought was going to work IN HIS FAVOR, and that he would then send his legions to attack the building, and the process, that was going to deliver to him that victory. You cannot possibly be that stupid!
I realize that some of you THINK you know so much, but you don't know jack-shit.
