This is Democrat theatre for sure. But I think it also separately reflects the unfortunate reality that the Capitol is likely not currently defensible against even a small but professionally trained force intent on killing our legislature if assembled by any one of our enemies.

The powers that be won’t admit publicly that this is true, but it obviously is. Setting everything else aside, the riot on Jan 6 exposed that actual security at the Capitol was pretty nonexistent. One of our special ops teams could’ve waltzed in there in no time.
We live in an open society. Our enemies can relatively easily operate amongst us. The security pros must have been/be horrified at how clear it made it that the Capitol is a soft target.
This is why they are talking about creating an 80 officer continuously standing presence as one of the remedial measures. They are going to need that & more now.
