One year after the deadly January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, lawmakers weigh in on the safety of the Capitol and the nation.
RELATED:
Thousands of rioters overcame police, busted out windows, burst inside the Capitol and scoured the building to stop the counting of electoral votes Jan. 6. Once inside, they ransacked offices, defiled the building's interior and shouted threats toward elected officials.
In the year since the attack, a fog of misinformation has clouded what happened on Jan. 6.

#Insurrection #Trump #Capitol
All I can say on this video is, USA USA USA USA 👍🏿
Reminder that it’s not only your Constitutional Right but your Duty as an American to fight against Tyranny and corrupt politicians.
You should be scared.
@Troy Robinson They did not!!! No officer was killed in the protest at all!!!
@Painkiller Jones Brian Sicknick was severely injured and died just hours later.
@Painkiller Jones Terrorists don’t need weapons, dude.
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).
@A Place For My Stuff People committing an “insurrection” do!!! And don’t call me “dude”, boy!
@Painkiller Jones did you happen to see the pictures of the guy in combat fatigues with zip ties vaulting over a railing in our nation’s capitol? Gave off a very “I’ve got weapons and I’m not afraid to use them” kind of vibe.
I wish they were armed…maybe then it would have actually done something.
@Troy Robinson sorry but no they didn’t. Fully debunked homie.
@Troy Robinson I’ve seen you repeating lies over and over. No matter how many people point out how wrong you are. Stay willfully ignorant I guess.
Propagada horseshit. WE SEE through your games
An armed revolution I support and stand BY at this point!!! We have been basically FORCED to VAX, now that we VAXED, we are again being FORCED TO WEAR MASKS AGAIN. ARMED CONFLICT I WELCOME YOU!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯
Why not start another one??
This could happen but not anyone would standup and do it. No one had guns while in there hahaha
You all took selfies
Could have burnt it down and made your voice heard but nope. Selfies….
Go start another and try again
Why don’t they show the cops leading them into the White House?
@Bert Hubnip ur obviously projecting now
uve accused a lot of ppl of being foreigners completely randomly
@Bert Hubnip and 37 idiots upvoted it. Proving that they cant actually read.
@Cid Sapient
Because I can’t bring myself to believe that Americans think the White House was the building breached on Jan 6. This is a website open to the world with plenty of people admitting they don’t even live in America yet get involved in American politics
@Bert Hubnip you should do that thing called research. It’s very simple and effective, many videos of it happening but please to stay blind and follow your leaders
Man I miss journalism.
@Troy Robinson are you deaf and blind democrats have been actively trying to get rid of free speech and the whole constitution
@Red Barchetta propaganda much?
@Troy Robinson lmao you lefties are funny with your racist views that make you feel bad so you pretend everyone else is racist lol
@Troy Robinson did your wife’s boyfriend give you permission to post on YouTube?
@Red Barchetta “And I miss people acting like Americans and not Nazis.”
I agree, it’s why I can’t stand the Democrat party.
Maybe we can get a committee to investigate the election of 2020 now or a committee that investigates China virus either of more important than the protest at Washington
@Cid Sapient My bad, I should have said “uses the term “MSM” in that context”.
@Mr. chicano kinda like you did with Hillary?🤣
@A Place For My Stuff Oh no.. someone had a typo. God forbid. When you use typos as the thing to attach to in order define intelligence, you are showing the limited scope of your own. Especially when the typo is this minor and very, very likely a “fat finger” push.
@Noneya Damnbusiness No idea what you’re talking about. I can’t find a single instance where I balked at a typo.
Are you replying to the right person?
Seriously, “deadly attack”? I remember when USA Today was a reliable news source.
@Troy Robinson Wrong. Completely wrong. Only death AT the Capitol was Ashli Babbit and she was shot by the Capitol police. No DEATHS and no trampled deaths AT the Capitol that day.
@Troy Robinson what your boyfriend told you was wrong.
@Troy Robinson yes we know u support police killing protestors
@Troy Robinson bruh this is a lie. The deaths you may speak of were medical conditions. Just 1 person died due to the riot. She was shot was police.
@Troy Robinson Lies. One woman was shot to death and she was a protester. The other people who died was not because they were victims of violence.
this should have to retracted. it wasn’t deadly in the way they are alluding to in the headline
Why didn’t the much more deadly BLM “mostly peaceful protests” get this much media attention? Entire neighborhoods were on fire but as soon as unrest comes knocking on the politician’s front door, thats when they start to care.
Summer of love
Entire neighborhoods on fire lmao okay pal
This gets attention because nothing like this has ever happened. Riots have happened hundreds of time in American history but never has a president literally lied to his fans about a foreign country hacking voting machines and then telling them to go to the Capitol to keep him in office
@Bert Hubnip lol u still think trump colluded with russia
@Bert Hubnip Democrats loot, burn , murder, r@pe and are the child predators. They are the one’s violent and criminals. RINOs are just more lying Democrats like Liz Cheney.
@Bert Hubnip what has the media done to you???
Oh here we go. Treat Jan 6 like a national holiday. Just make a Netflix movie out of this already along with the summer of love protests.
HBO has something on it but i’m not clicking that propaganda
The dumb Democrats think it’s their 911. They are so out of touch with reality.
Justice for Babbitt
And once again, editing out “peacefully march.”
I see American people fighting for they’re rights and freedom
@John Doe That’s not how elections work in this country.
Perhaps you have confused USA with USSR?
@Daniel Adams no those people just rioted for four months causing billions in damages, killed dozens of people and terrorized a country. But heck, they play for the home team so you think it was justified.
@John Doe Jane called, she said to stop acting tough
The funniest part of watching anything about January 6th is watching our actors of politicians fail to pretend to act afraid
It should bring satisfaction to anyone living in America today to think of those cockroaches hiding in their pants suits.
Idk if they were acting tbh. I’ve never those geriatric old fools scatter so fast before, like cockroaches when you turn the light on
I have friends that tried telling me this whole even never took place and that media faked the video footage/photos. wtf is wrong with people. It certainly did happen and media is all over with truth. How can people say that all these images were faked?
@Zarintyr No. Not fake. And you’re right the media has been pushing this nonsense for a year. Whats even more interesting is some of our three letter agencies was involved with it. Not counting Pelosi turned down extra security on three different times prior to this. 🤔
Yep, AOCs acting was funny
“Deadly attack”. Well, the only killed person was a petite, unarmed, ex service woman crawling through a window, who was shot point blank by an armed guard.
I guess you can call it “deadly”.
In NY City, trespass is no longer even prosecuted.
@Jimme Shelter in san francisco they decriminalized all crimes that total less than $1000 value, be it robbery or theft lol
ppl keep their suv hatches open so ppl dont break their windows
Yes we all know democratic criminals get let off the hook
With congress having a 20% approval rating and all the abuses of power by members of Congress you would expect an insurrection. But, this wasn’t an insurrection, it was a riot. An insurrection would only occur when the economy gets so bad that people have little to lose. Given the state of our government, all it will take is a slide into a true depression and unfortunately we’re not too far from that either.
This republic needs to be assaulted not by physical force but by the only power the people have our vote, unfortunately the establishment has brainwashed most of the people in America into voting for the candidates they want in charge.
I wonder when will people wake up and realize that both these parties are indoctrinating people into the two party system working together brainwashing the majority into voting for them.
Here is how it works the media uses the old war tactic of divide and conquer they use propaganda, disinformation, and fear mongering, to divide the nation among the Left and Right encouraging a us versus them mentality getting people to argue amongst themselves distracting them from seeing the true enemies of democracy.
They then limit people’s choices by only focusing on the two parties they establish a mindset that people have to support one of the two parties. They don’t allow Independent parties to participate in the election they will not give them airtime or allow third parties on stage so they can debate the other candidates. This is because if people found out they had other options many would choose them and they would lose power.
The rich own the media networks supporting only candidates they know will represent their interest.
If you want proof of this just look at the voting records of today’s Politicians 99% vote along party lines this indicates they are looking after their party and rich investors interests not the American people’s.
Both parties have been corrupted by corporate greed, Career politicians do not make millions on government salaries, they get all that money by selling out the American people.
If we want change we have to start electing those that are not in the pockets of lobbyist and special interest groups we need to start supporting more third parties and vote for people not a party.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing but expecting different results.”
The insanity that people expect change from politicians who profit from the status quo is beyond belief.
Do the nation a favor stop being brainwashed and vote out the two parties and end this corruption.
By voting for more independent parties we can slow down party politics encourage diversity of people and ideas and also may get people who care about representing their constituents.
Because they are not incumbent they are more likely to represent our interest as they know if they do not do a good job they will be voted out next term.
Only together can we end this two party Dictatorship we need to demand that independent parties have equal footing and airtime and expand our democracy to include independent parties without your support we will forever be stuck on this merry go round of corruption and corporate greed.
Tell you’re friends and family to use the only power we have and vote third party spread the word the media won’t help us as they are bias and just as corrupted as the politicians.
Both parties have held power for too long “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” – John Dalberg
@A Place For My Stuff yes… a complete definition is always helpful…and, that’s where I thought you were heading—the good old left wing socialist MO…if the extent of your intelligence is exposed and you can’t beat em, throw out the insults…very predictable…and satisfying to expose you
@DJ D According to the Oxford English Dictionary an insurrection is defined as a “violent uprising against an authority or government”. And again you make the wrong assumption that I am a democrat simply because i asked a question. Way to go skippy.
@A Place For My Stuff are you still awake kid? Now I just feel bad for you, so I’ll help you get educated. Stop doing a google search and citing to a one liner from a dictionary and articles from hack “journalists.” Insurrection is a legal term defined by the Constitution and federal and state laws and prosecuted by proving specific elements. You do this research and come back here to explain to everyone what those elements are and how they apply to the riot on January 6th. If you are not going to do that you can go back to trolling people by throwing tantrums and calling them names. While you are it, research the difference between socialism and the democrat party. You seem to be misunderstanding all sorts of concepts.
@DJ D “Geez your dumb” – Midge Pinsiotti
There is just way too much stupid in you pal. I can’t take you, you win. Feel proud little one.
Deadly attack is a gross overstatement.
I was thinking the same thing when I read the title.
Yeah deadly attack from the capital police who shot unarmed Trump supporters. Straight up propaganda
They are gearing up for war. Pick a side soldier
Literally 1 person died lol. And it was a rioter 🤧
🤫. Don’t tell Democrat voters that. They will burn down cities in “mostly peaceful protests”.
Why do they keep calling it a deadly attack? Only one person died and she was shot by a capitol official. The others died later from other causes. All you have to do is simply look it up.
If someone died, its deadly. Thats what…deadly means.
@Daniel Adams But the same exact people and politicians never called the BLM riots deadly did they hmmmm? That is the point. Biased media. Enemy of the people. “Mostly peaceful protests” … remember that? lol
or the people calling ethan crumbly a hero. wtf is wrong with people.
@A V Maxine Waters, AOC and Elizabeth Waren called people to violence just before the riots in Seattle.
If it were an attack there would be serious criminal charges. The “insurrectionists” have been charged with trespass mostly. But hype and lies get clicks and views…
They act like they didn’t do everything in their power to make trump look like the most hated person in America lol. This is pathetic
Oh but they did. Democratic scum knows no level.
Who’s they? Trump is the most hated person in America! That’s what happens when you spend 24/7 365 saying Democrats are the enemy of America.
@Doug Buse Biden and Harris certainly haven’t done much to change that view. I’d say the most hated man in America right now is Fauci. His blatant lies and background have caught up with him.
I detest this media and their hypocrisy
Deadly??? Yes an unarmed female vet was killed by a panicking policeman! That’s the only death that occurred
First insurrection in history where the only charges that have been brought have been trespassing
