At that point I realized how many people were inside
As I entered you can just
Cheers
Nerc hundreds and hundreds of protesters screaming into the Rotonda from every direction
In the morning
In fact when I went to security the morning officers
How they hoped
Stay quiet
Obviously
Sherlock
Shouting coming from somewhere outside the room
Realized it was on the
Second floor
Lorai was
When I got down there there's about a dozen or so protesters
Talking with capital
Police right outside
At that point
Yeah that's
Highland East
One protester
Capital of south
The protesters just
Kept saying
Describe the process
And they wanted to talk to various members of Congress they were they were dressed for the VIN
Unusual sort of costumes
Faces painted
Wearing like biking app
Of course
Differin
Trump
Hats
Trump flag
One of them also had a Confederate flag
And
As much as I could
They were
Habibi
They never expected
I think we should
I was impressed with themselves
And I think
You know I was there for maybe
5 or 8 minutes for grabbing them and their interactions with the police
Until I realize that maybe this is bigger than just that
And made my way towards the Rotonda which is the center area of the capital and I think at that point I realized how many people
Mystifying buildings in Washington
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of protesters basically doing whatever they want no standing on benches
Taking pictures with the statues
Being loud and disruptive
I tried to make my way back towards
The Senate chamber
What that mean always there was blocked and I was ticked smell of your gas or pepper spray in the air
Outside
Inserting catheter the same thing
Close to where the house floor is is where
I started seeing that protesters were going into her office
And this is a highly secure area
Third in line to the presidency
Normally nobody can go into her office
Galactus everything
Anybody can wander in there
Do whatever they want
Boston protest
Found
People that we're wearing Maga hats
That were sitting in
Staffers
Taking selfies they were streaming videos on
Social media sites
Never
And just would have liked
Going through her office
And
That's what I encountered
One of the princess was sitting in
Stop
And
Putting speed up
Start looking through her papers
And that sucks
Large bearded time when I didn't really see any police presence at all
It was awhile before I would see police
But you became the priority
And then after awhile you saw the SWAT teams that would start to clear the
Area 4 x 4 room by room
While there is definitely seem like the purchasers had control of the
Go wherever they wanted they can do whatever they
They wanted to do it seem like from inside anyone that wanted to come in could come in literally everywhere I look
At the peak of myself in a colleague encountered one of the SWAT
Who's going
From room-to-room to start clearing the building at protesters and they ordered us
Probably about 40 minutes until another team of police came
Found us and escorted us to another secure location on Capital
Once they cleared all the protesters
Bay
Re-secure the building
And then we got word
That the Senate and the house would reconvene to complete their debate
About the dispute
And then after that was completed they would resume their joint session
Answer then
My job
Continue enter
Timer
So I was here
Doing that and then they finally wrapped up
And declare Joe Biden
The winner
Probably about 3:30
The report we make
Is that
Joe Biden
And. Harris
Will be
The president and the vice president according to the ballot
That have been given to us
