Capitol Police chief apologizes

The acting Capitol Police chief on Tuesday offered a formal apology to Congress for the agency's security failures during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by a mob of former President Trump's supporters, acknowledging police failed to adequately prepare despite knowing in advance that armed militia groups and white supremacists posed a threat.
"On Jan. 6, in the face of a terrorist attack by tens of thousands of insurrectionists determined to stop the certification of Electoral College votes, the department failed to meet its own high standards as well as yours," Pittman told lawmakers.
Pittman said that Capitol Police knew in the days before the riot that militia groups and white supremacist organizations would be part of the efforts to protest Congress formally certifying President Biden's Electoral College victory. She also said that they knew some participants intended to bring weapons.
"We knew that there was a strong potential for violence and that Congress was the target," Pittman said. "The department prepared in order to meet these challenges, but we did not do enough."

I'm going to have to explain to my children that this wasn't nearly as big a deal as the history books are going to write it to be.
Now I'm questioning every historical event from Valley Forge to Gettysburg

He’s apologizing for Pelosi and Mitch refusing to call in reinforcements after they were asked to?

They knew everything. They new it was preplanned and they tried to warn congress (something like 6 times), but they wouldnt hear of it.
The media is scrubbing this story because it shatters the Trump insurrection narrative.

Pelosi's response was that she wanted a division backed by machine guns. Which response would have been the worse, with hindsight?

A group of that size with "terrorist" motivations would have easily seized the Capitol, held it indefinitely, and had their way with the Congress inside.

There we go...all trump supporters are white supremacists...also where were these “armed militia groups”? They didn’t storm the capitol apparently.

Did he apologize for the capitol police opening the doors and letting them in? Did he apologize for killing an unarmed woman?

I hope he testifies to this at Trump's peach mint.
