A 40-minute heartbreaking video from the New York Times.

Day of Rage: An In-Depth Look at How a Mob Stormed the Capitol
A six-month Times investigation has synchronized and mapped out thousands of videos and police radio communications from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, providing the most complete picture to date of what happened - and why." Includes cell phone and unsealed police body cam footage to show the most complete (to date) picture of the attack on democracy that took place on January 6th.
Let's be clear: The cause for the invasion of the capitol was a lie. A lie spread and encouraged (still to this day) by Donald Trump and his surrogates.
This includes Republican members of Congress who are trying to whitewash the events of, and leading up to, that day because they are afraid the findings will hurt them in the midterms and 2024, and tarnish the false narrative they're using to attempt to pass sweeping voting restrictions across the country, particularly in the states Trump lost that cost him the election.
All based on a lie about the election because a certain candidate lost.
And the lies continue, like "Antifa" was responsible for the riot, or the FBI coordinated it, or lies like this one, which is one of the most egregious examples from a member of Congress, but by far not the only one:
"Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes, taking videos and pictures. You know, if you didn't know the TV footage was a video from January the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit."
