“These people were so unafraid of the cops,” Reid opined in the clip — which immediately went viral on Twitter — “who were sparsely distributed through our Capitol, which hasn’t been breached since 1812, when it was burned.”

I definitely agree that certain elements of the police helped the rioters.

Which is why the Joint Chiefs issued a statement that included the following paragraph:

"The violent riot in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process. We mourn the deaths of the two Capitol policemen and others connected to these unprecedented events."

The Joint Chiefs also noted that President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated as the nation's 46th President on Jan. 20th.

So Trump's attempted coup will not work.
