"SNIP........

House Republicans, conducting their own investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection, plan to accuse the Capitol security apparatus of “negligence at the highest levels,” Axios reports.

“By placing blame on the building’s top security officials, this shadow investigation gives the GOP an alternative frame for discussing the 2021 Capitol assault.”

Vox: The GOP’s January 6 lies have reached a fever pitch.

.......SNIP"

1. Security?

For normal political discourse?
Why would they need security?

[PTWB]

2. I think there is some blame to be placed on the capitol police.

They should have been more prepared. They should have used more force, and used it much sooner, to stop the rioters.

That in no way diminishes the culpability of the GOP traitors who fomented the insurrection. It just acknowledges that the capitol police did not put down that insurrection with the swift force that it should have.

5. They called for backup. Metro Washington Police were there but the National Guard did

not come for hours.

[edhopper]

8. They were set up to fail

By higher ups and the Pentagon. It was an inside job.

16. Absofuckinglutely

12. Hindsight is 20/20

The next time they will be more prepared, and ready to take forceful action.

I don't know if blame is the right word. There were so many agencies involved in security, with tfg and his handlers manipulating so many details; who can ask for help or authorize troops, who takes precedence, who takes orders from whom; who gets information and what instructions they get, etc.

A lot of Capitol police have had to deal with feeling they could have or should have done more.
But it was a mob, attacking them, and they weren't prepared for that. Not their fault. This was a never before seen event. Blame the bosses. Those in charge should have made sure they were prepared, and they will be prepared next time!

3. The fucking nerve of these fucking fucks

I wanna see this backfire in their faces BIG TIME

[Walleye]

4. This electoral vote counting ceremony has been held for hundreds of years never needing extra securi

[tanyev]

6. It's the Capitol Police's fault our fascist thugs attacked them!

[LakeArenal]

7. Ask Pence how he feels about his security that day.

9. Trump showed

You can insult those who served and died to protect us. And the faithful will still support you.

[Mr. Ected]

10. In retrospect, maybe it was a bit negligent of the CP

To have not shot to kill everyone in sight in self-defense.

11. LOL !!! "Cap police where the ones who enticed our MAGA Minions to be terrorist dammit !!! "

[hot2na]

13. Why do they hate the police

Just like everything else the GOP pretends to stand for, their reverence for the police is utter bullshit.

[applegrove]

14. Because the police follow the evidence based truth. That is a threat

to the right.

15. Think of Bundy's sniper sighting in on LEO badges.

Right Wing police slogans:::::: Empty slogans

A slogan that Trump's terrorists/tourists believe in:::

[apnu]

17. So the GOP gave up on "Blue Lives Matter"?

Come on, y'all has the same question on your mind.

[bahboo]
