• It's the school door propped open all over again

    "Emergency exit only," the sign reads, instructing evacuees to "push until alarm sounds" and the "doors will unlock in 10 seconds." After one person exits, the doors appear to open from inside as 309 individuals pass through it over a period of less than
    20 minutes from the outside.

    Capitol Police officers, who didn't have riot gear or helmets, eventually made their way to the unlocked Upper West Terrace doors but did not block the entrance and more rioters continued to flow into the building, according to the footage reviewed by
    Just the News and released for publication by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the GOP-led House Administration Committee.

    Video footage of other locations of the Capitol that day show officers attempting to physically block entrances to stop rioters from coming into the building, with rioters at some times striking the officers or spraying them with pepper spray.

    The Capitol Police press office did not respond to requests from Just the News seeking comment. Its official after-action report barely mentions the episode, simply noting that at 2:34 p.m. the "Upper West Terrace is breached."

    Breached from the inside.
