House Republicans have inadvertently debunked one of their biggest lies about January 6that the police opened the doors of the Capitol building so the rioters outside could enter.
Journalist Jamie Dupree on Tuesday posted footage from inside the main doors of the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, showing rioters not only breaching the doors but also pushing past police officers.
In November, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced that most of the security footage from that day would be released to the public. He may not have considered how much of it might debunk the stories he and other Republicans have been telling in an attempt to minimize the events of that day. Just last month, Johnson claimed that innocent Americans were just walking through the building.
Republican politicians have touted numerous conspiracy theories about January 6, from claiming that the secretary of the Army delayed calling the National Guard in order to get a job with the Biden administration, to saying that fake Trump supporters arrived in Washington, D.C., on ghost buses. Trump was also caught on tape saying he could have stopped the riotswhen in reality, he wanted to join them. Many in the GOP still believe that the federal government instigated the whole thing.
