Looks like you have problems with reality. Eric Yes, the Capitol building was closed to the public on January 6, 2021, due to security concerns related to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. However, a large crowd of supporters of then-President Donald Trump breached the security and stormed the building. Encyclopedia Britannica Wikipedia Status of the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 General Access On January 6, 2021, the U.S. Capitol was not open to the public for regular tours. Due to heightened security concerns and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, public access was restricted. Events of the Day Rally and March: Supporters of then-President Donald Trump gathered for a rally near the White House. During this event, Trump encouraged attendees to march to the Capitol. Attack on the Capitol: Following the rally, a large crowd of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, breaching security barriers and overwhelming police forces. This led to significant vandalism and disruption of the congressional session meant to certify the electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election. Security Measures Police Response: Capitol Police were present but were quickly outnumbered. The situation escalated into a riot, resulting in injuries to law enforcement and rioters. Evacuation: As the mob breached the Capitol, members of Congress were evacuated to secure locations. The building was eventually cleared of rioters, and Congress resumed its session later that day.
