There, on camera, was a man with a hammer, breaking a glass panel and entering the speaker's home

Inside the command center for the U.S. Capitol Police, a handful of officers were going through their routines early Friday morning, cycling through live feeds from the department’s 1,800 cameras used to monitor the nearby Capitol complex as well as some points beyond, when an officer stopped.

It was a GOP supporter who intentionally left the camera unmonitored.

To me, it sounds like information overload.

The radicalized Republican party uses violence and fear to try to achieve political aims. That's the definition of terrorism. FOX and hate radio spread the messages of violence and fear.
