I’m going to guess what happened real time, is that they evacuated the congress into their tunnels, which they can probably do in under 5 minutes, and then they opened the valve a bit and let some people in for photo ops
I do think they took advantage of the situation for maximum effect.
There were so many seemingly high quality photos ready to go for the media.
I believe I was the first on this thread who stated these guys were let in for a PHOTO OP.
The viking dude is an actor. This doesn't mean he can't also be a Qtard, after all Qanon has infected all walks of life.
But part of me thinks they needed that guy front and centre as opposed to some regular looking guy. It adds to the visual effects of it all.
Actually this is where I think there is a bit of truth to the "crisis actors" meme. Its never that they are ALL crisis actors, but there may be a sprinkling of them to help add spice to the stew.
Now they are comparing this to 911, which is a big time stretch, but at the same time I also don't want to downplay what happened, which many people are doing.
