@AOC
This is the latest manipulative take on the right.
They are manipulating the fact that most people dont know the layout the Capitol complex.
We were all on the Capitol complex - the attack wasnt just on the dome.
The bombs Trump supporters planted surrounded our offices too.

People were trying to rush and infiltrate our office buildings - thats why we had to get evacuated in the first place.
The attempts of attackers & publicly available communications show how they tried to gain access and share location info on finding members for physical harm.
It is also very damning and revealing that the GOP is now digging both heels in a discrediting campaign.
Its because they know they are implicated, so theyre pivoting to (again) the classic abuse playbook of its not as bad as they say.
It was that bad. Its actually worse.

It's nice that Mr. Posobiec is the sole arbiter of what's life threatening. An armed, violent mob going through every nook and cranny of the Capitol Building? No big deal, shake it off. Kathy Griffin is photographed holding up a mannequin head? Save me, Superman!
