Think it was a solid combination of AntiFA starting -- because apparently this whole thing started while Trump was still speaking, and Trump supporters were there to watch and listen to Trump -- and Trump saying to go with him to the capitol (legitimate question is where he went after saying that) and then right as that happened Pence releasing his letter to inflame everything.
So it would appear from putting everything together that:
Trump made it clear to someone that he was going to tell everyone to protest outside the capitol
They made sure AntiFA was in place to start the engagement
Pence releases his letter and the news spreads like wildfire, so now angry patriots are on their way to protest the Capitol building that is already being sieged by AntiFA posing as Trump supporters

DC police lets them in for reasons.
I’m glad somebody else was paying attention.
