When a mob loyal to former President Donald Trump forcibly overtook the U.S. Capitol in 2021, conservative bloggers and social media commentators scrambled to fabricate a different story: that the day was nonviolent, a false flag by Democrats or the brainchild of undercover federal officials. A year later, thousands on social media echoed those falsehoods in their attempts to minimize the day’s events and deflect blame from Trump supporters. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File) AP

Tim Ryan.

“Because the threat landscape today is ever-changing, the security of the Capitol, its Members, staff, and visitors is a never-ending journey, not a destination,” House Sergeant at Arms William J. Walker told the House Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee.
