Who knew you could just walk with a mob into the Capitol?

like I couldn't do that if I went there, I'd have to go through security and could never make it to their offices or anything.

This should be a wake up call that anyone could get in and take hostages or blow the place up with little to no resistence.

6. It was enabled

There's wide discussion of the fact that security appears to have been deliberately softened in conjunction with the Trump rally earlier. Especially in comparison to the forces deployed ahead of BLM protests.

Congress members are already talking investigations into why DHS, National Guard, etc. wasn't already in place this morning.
