According to some reporters who were there, people were already in the Capitol Building _during_ the rally and that there was a steady flood of people heading there before the rally finished.

The capitol was clearly barred+fenced off. They FORCED their way in. All of it was televised. Why even try resort to fringe observations by "some reporters".

There is plenty of video of them being let in. They took down the barricades and just started letting people in. This camera person for a news outlet just walked right in with 0 force.

Because at that point they are heavily outnumbered that point they couldn't do much besides securing the MVPs (Senators, personal etc.).

Here is the video where the terrorists crushed an officer to death: https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1347749675777011714

The doors were definitely not open at the beginning, which everyone who watched it live clearly saw.

What he did see is a violent mob who forced their way into the building and a police which was outnumbered and not prepared.

Neither of these facts are in dispute by anything that I said.

All I was saying was that it did not start after the rally, but during.

Then whats the point of you comment if not to sugarcoat the fact that Trump's followers committed an act of terror.

Doesn't matter that some may have been there earlier. The vast majority went there after the rally. And of them a significant portion conducted or threatened violent actions against the capitol, police, politicians, and the free press.
