Unedited footage released Friday by House Speaker Mike Johnson is devastating the Democrat narrative that a violent insurrection unfolded at the US Capitol on Jan. 6.

Clips below, available at the CHA Oversight Subcommittee Reading Room, instead show Capitol Police officers gleefully shaking hands with, fist-bumping protesters and leading protesters through the halls of the Capitol.

In the following clip, police uncuff a “protester” after he’s led away from the crowd, then fist-bump him before telling him to proceed around a metal detector.

The contrast between Democrats’ narrative and what actually happened is so absurd many used it as a meme opportunity.

Importantly, the videos do not show protesters violently attacking police officers, or by any means attempting to overthrow the election.

The protest was for the most part literally a mostly peaceful demonstration.

As previous footage has shown, in many cases police instigated the infamous Capitol riot by firing rubber bullets at otherwise peaceful protesters.

Former Republican Sen. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who sat on the Jan. 6 Committee, attempted to push back against the damning footage circulating on social media by sharing a selectively-edited montage of some of the more contentious moments that day.

Many are hopeful the hours of footage now in the public’s hands will contain exculpatory evidence helping exonerate J6 defendants.
