Can confirm.... After the incident on the SE corner from the monument drew in all of the security, including an armoured truck, I started yo hear bangs, but thought it was just fireworks. Antifags had been around the fringes of the crowd all morning, with the Proud Boys patrolling to keep them away.
I walked to the Capitol and didnt get there until 1:45. Couldn’t get a signal had no idea anyone breached and went inside until back at my hotel. Just thought we were gonna stand on the steps and chant ‘Stop The Steal’ until the crowd got huge and they tear gassed us. People kinda went nuts after the tear gas imo. It was body to body so there was no way out. That was 2:30 pm
before people were on the steps.
I walked to the capital. Even left the speech early with a hoard of others (12:30pm) . The main pack from trumps speech who left early did not get to the capital until 1:03pm. We heard about people getting in sometime after 2:12 pm at this point police let you walk wherever you wanted to, you could go up and down stairs if you wanted to, climb walls, scaffolding whatever. The police were doing absolutely nothing and we weren’t breaking or burning anything at all
