Law enforcement agencies have said they had "no intelligence" indicating that a group of Trump supporters would overpower police and enter the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021. But journalists and researchers who study the online far right say that's not true. In fact, the groups at the heart of the riot had been planning it for days, in plain sight, on social media -- and the signs that an event like this was imminent had been coming for years.
Reporters Logan Jaffe (ProPublica) and Robert Evans (Bellingcat) describe the warning signs they observed weeks, months, and even years before a mob of Trump supporters broke into the US Capitol building.

Just replace USA with SCNA (States of Central North America). That sounds more division friendly
Armed Ghurkas guard Buckingham Palace now.
I am ashamed to even say I’m from America for this reason and many other reasons 😔
the decimated states of america
America invading America
Lock them all up. Deplorables.
Sadly you cant lock up 40% of a country.
YOBA
Biden: warmonger and narc.
? ok buddy
PAUL BLART
I agree with SteveBannon.
I never want to hear Trump supporters say they’re “good Americans”
They do be like with confederate flags: I AM A PROUD AMERICAN >:) MERICA
@Pieter's Films I know he’s not my president that’s why I said Trump 2024.
@Jacob Davis its over... Get over it. He is a president not your grade 10 boyfriend
@Steve Reid I am 👍
@Jacob Davis you’re not being serious, are you?
dang america is a disaster
Trump trash
@Pennsylvanian Railfan Sometimes I think the people supporting trump weren't in the country in his 4 years of presidency
biden trash
This is mis- characterizing. This is slanted. This is opposite of truth. FORTY TIMES Trump denounced white supremacists. Your video is wrong because you took some small groups and some comments and sliced and spliced it together. You blamed the actions of BLM AND ANTIFA on the majority if voters in America. You are a deliberate slander machine. Unplug it. The peaceful million man march wants to stop what actually happened. A fraudulent election, censorship, false news, omission of facts, sensationalism. If you want to make a video, research who pays political agitators to create the burnings and murders and vandalism and rioting in Americas cities. Watch the video made undercover, of Aaron (minter) Black. Listen to him tell who pays political agitators to try and raise confusion and get attention. Put THAT in your pipe.
Do me a favor Shut up
@Generic Shitposts 20 hours no answer he can't cope
@Danny Linc anyway name one incorrect fact they made and back it up with evidence that it's false
@Generic Shitposts aptly named
@Danny Linc Cope malder
left: The warning signs before the capitol riot. also left: Trump incited violence causing the riots.
@corban shaffer that's their job *and* judges who trump himself confirmed because of their loyalty and have overwhelming reason to lie said trump was wrong
@Michael Abbott So judges can't lie now?
@corban shaffer every judge or election official confirmed that Biden won (that is an undeniable fact, there are facts in politics but people choose to ignore them) but trump repeatedly tried to undermine them and lie about the results therefore causing his supporters to believe he won and try to suppress democracy.
@Michael Abbott Who said they were false? Theirs no facts in politics its a matter of opinion. And how could he rile up his base for months when they didn't even know whether he won or not?
@corban shaffer trump was the main distributor of false claims about the election and tried to rile up his base for months before the attack.
too much freedom just too much
We Americans : We will protect our Country. We will topple the government. Meanwhile The whole World : You(Americans) are not the clown. You are the entire circus. (Only entertainment and enlightenment purposes.) --->the above Comment
This is the Pinaccle of *Dont listen to everything you hear in the Internet*
This ppl to the government: they are attacking our constitution also them: *Attacks the place where the constitution is* Me: THE TABLES HAVE TURNED IN THE WRONG WAY
Stop the steal. Proceeds to try to take the government with force.
As a dutch person this is so weird to me, the fact there are just about two parties and obviously that divides the country in two groups, that causes things like this. Obviously you always have left and right but now it's literally red against blue and these things happen.
@Meltrix true
@Kodak then we need to stop the media from dividing us.
it’s the fact politics divide the country. I wish we could all come together and ignore others politics
The *EXCITED* States of America 🇺🇸
And now I know, why USA is an unsafe destination for expats
Hey did they know the founding fathers dint want political factions
THATS KAREN 2:06
:O FINALLY SOMEONE TIMESTAMPED THIS!
I'm not sure if this was said for sure. But I've never heard these people be called terrorists and I don't get why. Because they are. They litterally terrorised the country.
They have been called terrorists. And yet the people that burned down Minneapolis over the summer, the people that set up an autonomous zone in Portland, as well as all the other examples of defacing our country are not labeled as terrorists. The double standard is ridiculous and I hate how nobody is pointing it out.
Puerto Rico: y’know I’m having second thoughts on statehood
They dare to do this cz no one is really been punished by their own action Treat their violence too softly
People still wonder why Cops are better to people who support them, then those who are against them 😂 common sense people
México: *Alright, we need a wall*
Me:if they hurt you start tazeing or shooting and if they want to test me they will not be alive probably. I’m not messing around with this. So don’t f*** with me
Broken States Of America
No one should ever be surprised by right wing violence. It’s always there.
@Spiral Dynamics I think he’s saying that because nobody on the left wants to acknowledge the violence that extremists on their side of the spectrum have caused (ex. The burning of Minneapolis over the summer). I can say that me as well as many other Republicans condemn the actions of the people of the people that entered the Capitol but denying that the Left hasn’t done the exact same things previously is just ignorant.
@Jacob Davis antifa was a global organisation founded by the anarchists of the Spanish civil war. Adopted by the nkvd then kgb. Used for espionage and intel against America. After the fall they faded out of existence. These so called antifa is just wannabes wanting a name
Jacob Davis Why is it that anytime someone wants to hold a republican accountable all you here is “But they did it too.” ?? 🙄 Never mind. We know why.
Ya same with left wing violence
I wasn’t
Thank God rush is dead!
the funny thing they still call them "Trump supporters" while they are Trump's terrorists who they will have no problem in killing who is against them, and they are no different than the Al-Kaeda in Afghanistan except they are mostly white supremacists', and trump's mentality and vision have no key differences in compare to Bladen's vision to his enemy. "who's not with me he's against me, and don't deserve to live".
mfs dont have any lives. or are so bored they just say some of the darndest things. then they do some pretty out there stuff... like go home and yell at a kid on your xbox like a normal person
The GOP exists on a diet of accusing Democrats of doing what they themselves are trying to do. One woman in this vid held a sign reading "Democrats cheat to win." The truth is, we don't need to cheat to win - all we have to do is vote, like we did last year in unprecedented numbers. 7 million more in the popular vote. 45 million more citizens represented in an evenly divided Senate. The only path available to the GOP winning is sedition and voter suppression, i.e., cheating.
China and russia:Eats popcorn
Nah more like Switzerland
Would have another Civil War I'm afraid.
i think everyone bar the cops seemed to know this was going to happen
Pray for all people in to god 🙏🙏
Kim Jong un
that random comment 😂
The Republican supporters are what gives the republican party a bad rep, not including trump.
Can't belive we couden't raid area 51 as much as these guys
Fox News should be under investigation.
you think it has to do with fox?
if i was a general, i would order the army to open fire on everyone.
I don’t know what happened, but the America I knew in 2008-2015 is not the America I know now. I don’t even know if I want to consider this a country anymore
The moral of the story is that. They failed. Trump loses. Biden won. Deal with it losers.
What about the lefts Democrat politians who said BLM riots were ok, they should push on them, they want to see more, protests aren't always peaceful etc, etc? That's violent rhetoric too! Hypocrtic much?
BLM riots? We accept that some were pushed a bit too far, but MOST wherent! The news only portrays the violent ones because nobody cares about people marching singing lullabies and songs
You know when the trump supporters were storming the capital keep saying USA? Well, in there minds, it’s the “United States of America”, to me, it’s “Ultimate Supreme Anarchy”. Also, it could mean monarchy.
It’s just my prediction
Imagine how many protests there would be if the secret service just opened up on the raiders
People riots: Covid-19: It's free real states
The way that the United States of America will lose its status in the world is from its enemies within.
You know why this is happening? Because most people in the world don’t deserve democracy, they do not have the intellectual capabilities to function outside a tyrannically ruled society. So, a good advise to all you American people: stop treating your rights like it’s nothing! You were supposed to earn it but you didn’t so here is the consequence!
Another civil war?
This could lead to anarchy.
2020: Oof, that was a rough one, hope 2021 is bet-
the election was rigged don't deny that, however I do not condone the capitol riot
@Kodak words of a theif: "no election is perfect"
I believe there was fraud in the election like there is every election but nothing that would change the results
The election was NOT rigged.
The states of america
That intro hurts me head. What happened to logic and free thought?
What’s happening and why I don’t understand
How did no one see that the first orange president would be terrible? Basically had the same IQ as an orange.
The very foundation of the US was built upon this kind of behaviour and way of thought. Now that the average US American receives incredibly poor education as well, how is *anyone* shocked? I for one fear the international implications, as this kind of idiocy has a tendency to spread from the US.
Its funny how people dont see how both sides caused this.
How did the left cause this
Wray: Antifa more an ideology than organization. FBI: Formerly Bureau with Integrity. March 13, 2021 Saturday
Republican or Democrat, this is unacceptable. This vote is not going to keep democrats in office for the rest of time. This is a 4 year thing. There are no excuses to raid the Capitol over this. I live in a Republican dominated state, and even i can say this is messed up. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER
Varsity Squad stayed home that day....
Relax guys, there's a logical explanation. They found oil underneath the Capitol so the CIA secretly worked with Trump supporters to stage a coup and invade the building.
that ‘im glad i dont live in America’ happiness is definitely kicking in rn
You know what, I'd rather go anywhere then the USA
The government should fear the people. The longer Biden is in office, the more angry the people are gonna get. BLM burned our places of business and beat people. When we do it, then it's considered rioting by the MSM. I have no desire to unify with the evil and delusional. I seek to destroy it.
I Hope they overthrow the goverment
Ha ha ha, Canadian's go brrttttt
The top three countries are slowly falling
Let's just nuke the world and start over
@tom Dean yhea not a good idea
Gee chief not sure you know how that works, this ain't the sims.
I wish God would bless Tucker Carlson the same way he blessed Rush Limbaugh
time to declare independence from US of A
The media took advantage of the covid crisis & they should all be in jail including you people at Vox CNN fox Bunch of psychopaths
(This is what they actually said) Trump Supporters: If Trump wins, Biden supporters will Riot and protest everywhere.
This is why real Americans spell Republikkklans this way and they now consider the Republikkklan party to be the Russian government.
That Russian collusion is a conspiracy. There is no proof of collusion anywhere. Keep reaching...
I support trump but this is not right this needs to stop
Republicans: We didn't complain that Biden won! We just hope that he does a good job in office 🥺🥺 Also Republicans: raids the capitol, claims that there was voter fraud and the election was rigged when there's proof it wasn't.
You mean how it was PROVEN that 2 Russian dudes rigged the 2016 election?
These aren't riots like u say Hong Kong are peaceful protesters they are also peaceful protesters
2:05 Karen
Tucker Carlson should not be allowed to speak
The radical left along with the Chinese government are trying to destroy the united states they helped Beijing Biden steal the election
Hey didn't 2 Russian dudes rig the 2016 election, or was the FBI just lying?
Bruh...
All of them need to be made an example of. Give them all the stiffest possible sentences! We have to show people like this you cannot desecrate our nations Capitol. You literally cannot be anymore un-American or unpatriotic than storming, looting, and rioting the Capitol building. People love to bring up BLM or Antifa, which I don’t agree with most of their rhetoric and actions, but neither has done anything like this even if they have rioted in places as well. Those places are not our nation’s capital. What did they truly think they were gonna accomplish? All they managed to do was cement the fact the rest of America thinks they’re extreme kooks.
They knew but they did nothing But for real tough this nation is going to collapse if this stuff continues I’m a Trump supporter but that does not mean I’m a terrorist.
It's Funny how they dont talk about the amount of DAMAGE BLM and Antifa has done
@Skybound So burning down black people's business in a BLM protest is not a federal crime
@Sebastien Bernal what BLM did was beyond trashy, what those Trumpies did at the Capitol was a federal crime.
@MI, U And I Yes both, watch the real news
Antifa maybe, but BLM, no...
Literally at no point during this riot was our democracy on danger. The republican vice president was certifying the election with a Republican senate and a couple loons start a riot and all of a sudden the president incited an insurection? Did everyone forget the billions of dollars in damage across dozens of cities with dozens of people killed and businesses and livelihoods destroyed? All encouraged by democrat politicians? But no, a couple unarmed guys climbing a wall and sitting In chairs is much more dangerous. Y'all are beyond reason and need to stop watching CNN, Facebook and UZworld for your information, its rotting your brains, and when anyone tells you a differing view it all shows.
There were nooses put up, some people were threatening to assassinate government officials Mike Pence was one of those, assaulted officers, couple people died during this, and some people were breaking into the Capitol building.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if america divides itself into two separate sides like the berlin wall
When Mcdonalds gets band:
There are boxes of ballots found in trash all were trump votes media does not show...
Riot states of america
What's gonna stop them from trying again, given that they see the Biden Administration as an illegitimate government? If CPAC was any indication, Trumpism is still the top agenda among conservatives. On the other hand, imagine the horrors this nation would be facing, had the Insurrection succeeded, Trump got his 2nd term as president, and Congress is 100% Republican. There would be no talk about the next Covid relief, migrants would probably be shot at the border, and the U.S. would probably be at war with Iran, %/or China.
34
and back off of rush limbaugh he was a good man who did a lot of good for our country
You are delusional.
so they had right to protest, and didn't hurt anyone- there were 3 casualties from the whole protest because one of the ambush's, which didn't involve the christians or actual trump supporters
Some people there were attacking the officers.
@MI, U And I i really don't know why
@Carter Mccaig So why do it then, it would only ruin the image of the one they support...
@MI, U And I some rioters didn't and couldn't take over one of our key government buildings
Sir, it's a historical government infrastructure
they stormed the capitol because they thought that with the senate and house being democrats that the second amendment would get abolished
