A woman shouts at a Capitol Police officer outside on January 6, 2021 outside of the US Capitol Building.Andrew Denney is a 36-year-old Brooklyn-based journalist who was on the ground in Washington DC yesterday as rioters stormed the US Capitol building.
One Trump supporter Denney spoke to said he hoped the siege would remind Congress and the Senate that the Capitol is "our house." I'm a 36-year-old Brooklyn-based reporter and I was part of a round of COVID-19-related layoffs at a New York tabloid last year. Since then, I've been paying my bills through a grab bag of freelance jobs.
At that point, the crowd had already burst through barricades and police lines and asserted dominance over the Capitol Grounds. Rioters scaled the walls of the west side of the building and a mob had taken over the Capitol steps. At about 2 p.m., I struck up a conversation with a veteran DC photographer who spotted my New York City Police Department-issued press badge. He said he had never witnessed so many people on the Capitol steps and so close to the front door.
