Noose appears near Capitol; protesters seen carrying Confederate flags
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/live-blog/electoral-college-certification-updates-n1252864/ncrd1253129#blogHeader
A noose was erected on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday afternoon, attached to a wooden beam.
It was seen as hundreds of pro-Trump demonstrators were crowding around the Capitol amid chaos that involved many of them breaching barricades and going inside the building.
Many were seen carrying Trump campaign flags inside, and some were also carrying Confederate flags.

Granted, that noose might have been "for show" but it's still an indictment of their motives. At least one guy had zip ties to hand cuff VP Pence and other legislators.
