‘Morning Joe’ Airs the NYT Video Investigation of the Capitol Hill Riot
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
NARRATOR: "Then, this group from the west storms around the building and pushes right through the barriers. The police here barely put up a fight, and it’s now that protesters all along the east barricades surge forward. The Capitol is now surrounded. Rioters haven’t made it inside yet, but around the time that the mob on the east pushed forward, rioters on the west were making a pivotal move. This scaffolding was erected for the upcoming inauguration of Joe Biden. It covers a staircase that gives direct access to an upper level and dozens of doors and windows. Three police lines guard that route. But at ground level, officers are so overwhelmed that just a few cover this crucial access point. Several Proud Boys see the weakness."
