It was a political failure in DC

 

DC more than capable to stop storm on Capitol --- but did not

On the Bongino show, he mentions that the DC police force get more funding than a lot of major cities, and has only 2 sq miles to secure. He went on to say that it was a POLITICAL decision, not a police decision. The fault lies with the politicans, not the cops.

In other words, because the mayor refused to secure the Capitol in advance, it became possible for the tragic event to occur.

Now they are compounding their error by looking for scapegoats. Sure there were bad actors here, but these people want to tar and feather whole classes of people who HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Bongino also mentioned how Trump got trashed for securing the White House, but now that there wasn't enough security at the Capitol because of a POLITICAL decision made by those who want to defund police, they are complaining about THAT. Maybe all this could have been avoided if you did what TRUMP DID when they tried to storm the White House.

But with the left, it is always somebody else's fault. They screwed this up themselves, and I think that they did it on purpose.
