I really don't agree with this idea that because the doors to the Capitol were open meant that everyone was welcome to go inside.
I'm not going to insult the intelligence of those at the Capitol that day to pretend they didn't know they weren't supposed to be inside that building.
There are plenty of valid arguments to make about J6 without using the "but the doors were open!" argument. That's something children would say.
I was 50 ft from Capitol steps near inauguration media tower for 4-6 hours. I never had a clue people went inside. I never saw 1 act of cop/protestor violence.
The Capitol is never opened to the general public when a session is taking place.
Anyone visiting also must have a clearance and are restricted in where they can go.
Dude, that's just sad, trying to pretend anyone can just go and do whatever they want in the US Capitol Building, especially when such an important event was taking place.

Ok...
The capitol was only “closed” due to COVID at the time. At any other point, people would be allowed in there.
