How could a violent mob manage to get past Security? There must be an inquiry into who was in charge of security. This was the USA, not some Balkan disaster!
I happened upon this (hearsay) report.

No it doesn't.

NETWORK, Sidney Lumet, 1976 - I'm Mad As Hell and I'm Not Gonna Take This Anymore!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRuS3dxKK9U

Program Director: Take 2, cue Howard.

Beale: I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.

You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

"I'm as mad as hell,

and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

For the idiots and the morons.
For those that are in denial about Trump's role.
For those that think there might have been 1 or 2 Antifa present (as if that could make a difference).
For those that find it hard to jon up the dots; such as Guilliani's "trial by combat"; and Trump's "march on the Capitol and show strength".
For those that think its okay to take Zip-tie handcuffs and pipe-bombs on a peaceful protest.

.. For all of you just spend 10 minutes and watch this real news.

Donald Trump Speech “Save America” Rally Transcript January 6
https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/do ... -january-6

Concluding remarks from the transcript:

Donald Trump: (01:11:44)
Our brightest days are before us, our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.

Donald Trump: (01:12:21)
Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans for our movement, for our children and for our beloved country and I say this, despite all that’s happened, the best is yet to come.

Donald Trump: (01:12:43)
So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

Donald Trump: (01:13:19)
So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I want to thank you all. God bless you and God bless America. Thank you all for being here, this is incredible. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Too bad.

You made that so specific, I'm excluded from your parameters.

So, no real interest. Besides, it's coffee time.

But how can it be that the President praises a mob of criminals? I am an old lady just struggling to understand.
From Trump’s speech:

“I hope so. I hope so because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do. This is from the number one or certainly one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it. We’re supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our constitution, and protect our constitution. States want to revote. The States got defrauded. They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back. All Vice-President Pence has to do is send it back to the States to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people.”

The news went out over the airwaves about that time, from Fox News, that Pence had said in a memo to Congressmen that he wasn’t going to “do the right thing,” as Trump had explained. This information was released just before the count tallies were being recorded, one state at a time. They had just started with Arizona.

This news was instantly made public by the broadcast, about the time people started the walk up to Capitol Hill, so the folks likely arrived angry.

I was watching on the television, and remember.

Apparently the break-in began about the time the speech was finishing, a mile and a half away.

Conclusion:
- Pence’s action riled up the crowd.
- Trump’s words set up their betrayed expectations, because Pence was the last hope for justice.
- Months of burning and rioting in the cities, ignored by Democrats, had redefined public disobedience from structured marching in a circle holding signs, to violence.

- The media is blaring that there was no hope to change the election results, but apparently there was, as Trump said he had sound Constitutional advice.
- Also, two senators, one of them a famous constitutional scholar, were backing the last gambit for justice as required by law.
- When the electoral count restarted, all the appeals were swept aside in the emotion, Biden declared the winner.

I think what we have with Walker is a person, whom in common with many Trumpers, is in the grip of the Dunning/Kruger effect.
He is pathologically incapable of unthinking his most fundamental delusions.

I honestly think reunification is most possible by focusing on what unites us, and what we have in common, rather than how we must respond to every new wave of craziness.

People should not dismiss accountability for those who threaten our safety and peace, as that sets a very low bar for everything that follows.

If Republicans would expect accountability of Democrats storming the Capitol, and a Democratic president inciting them to do so (while withholding normal protective measures), then Republicans must expect the same accountability of themselves if they are at all honorable and honest. I am quite sure that Republicans would have NEVER allowed or excused a president like Trump (all throughout his term) if he had been representing the Democratic party. Nor would his current followers have been IN LOVE with him, calling him their Savior and "Daddy". People need to recognize insanity (their own and that of their leaders) over party/religious loyalty, or they are nothing more than sheep and pawns for the worst kind of agendas of humankind.
