    btw, thousands of insurrectionists had already breached the capital and the video you are showing is just as if not more likely law enforcement trying to escort people *out* of the capital. But sure, someone trying to defend the maga insurrection and criticize law enforcement might try to re-spin what happened...

    "Newly released footage of Matthew Perna (seen in red sweatshirt) shows Matthew walking calmly in the Capitol shooting video. Matthew pled guilty to initial charges, believing he may face 6-12 months in prison.

    Only after pleading guilty did the DOJ inform Matthew that they would seek a TERRORISM enhancement to his sentencing, which would raise his sentence to a potential 9 years in federal prison.

    4 days after receiving news that the DOJ would push for this sentencing enhancement, Matthew went into his garage, put a rope around his neck, and hung himself."

    He can try, but he can't spin the facts. There was violence, they tried to stop the transfer of power, and people were threatened to be killed.

    Hand picking little clips out of context from hours of time is his mission. Funny how he doesn't show all the violence, the 140 or cops being beat, the politicians hiding and running scared for their lives, or all the destruction being done inside. He was probably cheering along with Trump when it happened, and crying with Trump when the insurrection failed to keep Trump in power. Yeah, that's probably them leaving the place in that clip.

    Perfect example how magas will try to use the newly released film and photos to defend the insurrection with wildly false conspiracy stories...

    It’s all gaslighting and spin bye people who can’t face up to what those ideologically aligned with them did. It’s more of the party’s that preaches responsibility looks to avoid responsibility and blame others.

    It's happening MTG! There is no reason we should wait for Trump to pardon himself, you, Gaetz and the rest of the insurrectionists. You are all guilty, and you know it.

    he is right. also, youre an insurrectionist/domestic terrorist supporter and based on your posts regarding january 6th, possibly one yourself. hopefully the authorities are keeping tabs on you.

    Wasn’t it well established that the people who got into the Capitol Building on Jan 6th included people going with the flow and peacefully walking in, and others who were violently trying to force their way in? Some fraction of them were nutty insurrectionists, but many (from their vantage point) probably just thought this was an acceptable, legitimate populist protest.

    The way I understood it, there wasn’t sufficient security to keep them all out, and so they decided to let them through to reduce the chance of major violence breaking out.

    There should have been full transparency on what happened. Hiding footage that seems inconvenient to a particular narrative is not how things should work in a democracy.
