Video of White Power banners being draped in the House Chamber?

I could have sworn that I saw a video of this happening in the House chambers (I think it was the house). There were several banners draped from the gallery after the takeover. There was also a guide of the meaning of the symbols given by the poster

Does anyone remember this or did I dream it? I have not seen the video or stills from it since then.

They were definitely in one of the two given the pictures showing them in front and climbing around with zip ties visible.

The insurrectionists were in the gallery, on the Floor, in Senators desks, they had their flags and banners with them in some cases so it may....have been there

It was as horrible as it looked on tv. You have further created a memory that did not happen. Members of neither the house nor senate hung banners. Plenty of the insurrectionists did, and some members of the house and senate clearly support them, but what you are alleging did not happen.

This didn't happen, this was not reported. Quit doubling down on something nit factual, it isn't helpful whatsoever.

...and there are no hanging banners visible, just the regular wall decorations.

It must have been a dream given the responses. If this group doesn't think it happened like it is my memory, then it didn't happen.

I first started questioning it when that moron Hannity (or was it Carlson) said it wasn't about race. Immediately the pictures of the Confederate flag came up. I then looked for my imagined video as even further support.
