(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Newly obtained video from the J6 protests at the U.S. Capitol further calls into serious question the narratives of an alleged violent insurrection that have long been peddled by the partisan J6 Inquisition and its mainstream media collaborators.
Contrary to fake news accounts of an angry mob forcefully overrunning police to breach the Capitol, video obtained by Just the News shows quite the opposite in at least one crucial incident.
More than 300 people streamed peacefully through a door that was left open on the West side of the Capital complex, while police struggled to contain a surging crowd from breaching other segments of the building.
The video showed Capitol Police officers ushering some people already inside the building toward a fire evacuation door. When the door opened and one person exited, upwards of 300 protestors were able to file peacefully through over a period of roughly 20 minutes.
The video appears to confirm concerns and questions raised by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., two years ago and reinforces narrative-busting footage that Tucker Carlson released last month during his last days before being ousted by Fox News. That video, similarly, showed largely peaceful protests and not an enraged, hate-fueled mob.
I was told the QAnon shaman was leading an insurrection not the one who is being led by police throughout the capital building. No wonder all the footage was kept from us for 2 years.

“Some people did enter the Capitol, not by committing acts of violence, but were literally let in,” Johnson told the Just the News, No Noise television show after watching the video.
Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, echoed that assessment, and slammed the J6 Inquisition, along with mainstream media, for promoting only one side of the whole story, focusing only a handful of protesters who turned riotous despite messages from former President Donald Trump to remain peaceful.
“They picked and chose what they wanted to expose during that sham committee,” Nehls said. “They got people screaming, and they found the worst 10 minutes inside the Capitol. But when you truly see the video, there are hours and hours of no violence, non-violent protesters just walking around inside the Capitol, waving their flags, singing God Bless America.”
The closed circuit video footage obtained by Just the News reportedly showed police officers “gesturing toward the doors as these individuals walked past him.” Johnson told the news outlet that his office never received answers to the questions and concerns he raised two years ago about the footage.
“We do not have, we don’t know the truth,” Johnson said. “And what always haunts me is that history is written by the victors and we know the Democrats — we know the liberal left — wants to paint conservatives as potential domestic terrorists.”
