BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Angry, maskless spectators forced themselves into the Idaho House special session on the coronavirus pandemic Monday, shattering a glass door, rushing into the gallery that had limited seating because of the virus and forcing lawmakers to ask for calm in a crowd that included a man carrying an assault-style weapon.
After some people shoved their way past Idaho State Police, Republican House Speaker Scott Bedke allowed the gallery to fully open as long as the crowd stopped chanting and was respectful.

When it comes to certain situations, the camera people will scan the crowd and find the one or two black people to include in a shot that is usually a sea of white, in order to make it appear "diverse". In some cases when the individual was identified, they were found to be a facility or event staffer and not an actual participant. And interestingly enough, they did this consistently for several months straight during the BLM marches. What were essentially nearly all-white marchers (which was an amazing and heartening thing to see), they instead looked hard through the crowds to find a couple black people to make it appear as if the crowd was majority-black. And then doing that became important "evidence" to run a narrative that would blame all the rioting and looting on those (press-manufactured) "majority-black" marchers.
