They Aren't Fact Checkers People; They're 2020's Version Of Orewell's Ministry Of Truth From The Novel 1984
Ask PolitiFact: Did Capitol Police let mob of Trump supporters in?
We have not seen evidence that Capitol Police granted rioters access to the building or that they were “in on” the breach, as some posts claim.
Footage that appeared to show some officers allowing rioters past barricades was misrepresented online. The journalist who shot the video said the officers backed off the barricade because they were “completely outnumbered.”
Other videos taken at different entrances back that up, and show rioters quickly overwhelming police barricades and eventually forcing officers to retreat.
35 Capitol Police Officers Under Investigation in Connection With Riot
Office of Professional Responsibility investigating 35 officers.
Six of those officers have already been suspended (with pay).
