For folks tuning in to "American Insurrection" on @frontlinepbs , here's our reporting from January confirming the presence of prominent hardcore nativists and white nationalists at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot:
A federal judge denied pretrial release to a man arrested in Las Vegas who posted video of himself smoking marijuana in the Capitol Rotunda during the violent Jan. 6 insurrection.
The Locust Grove man is accused of participating in some of the worst violence during the Capitol insurrection. During a second of two sustained assaults on the police, prosecutors say he told an officer, “You’re going to die tonight.”
Slain U.S. Capitol Police officer William “Billy” Evans will lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday during the second such memorial ceremony this year for a force that has edged close to crisis in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection:

“White Americans aren’t afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they’re committing an insurrection,” @JoyAnnReid says about the Trump supporters rioting the US Capitol.
You’ve seen images of Ofc Hodges crushed in the doorway during the insurrection at the US Capitol. Now we need your help finding the suspect who used a police shield to pin him against the door jam. Have info? Call the FBI’s Tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) @FBIWFO
What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by President Trump. This president must not hold office one day longer.
NPR guidance: we won’t be calling the people who stormed the Capitol ‘protestors’ - they are ‘pro-Trump extremists’ and what they are doing is ‘insurrection’.
BREAKING: Two Capitol Police officers have been suspended in connection with last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Tim Ryan said. One of the suspended officers took a selfie with a rioter. The other donned a MAGA hat and “started directing people around,” Ryan said.
Under the Constitution, there should be an investigation of any U.S. Senator or Representative who encouraged or participated in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol of Wednesday, January 6, 2021.
Pelosi and McConnell need to investigate why: (1) the Capitol was so poorly prepared for today’s attack, (2) why police were taking selfies with domestic terrorists, & (3) why those guilty of insurrection were escorted out the front door instead of being handcuffed and arrested.
