The acting head of the US Capitol Police tells congressional members the department 'failed' and called the January 6 riot a 'terrorist attack'

The acting head of the US Capitol Police told congressional members during a closed-door briefing Tuesday that the"department failed to meet its own high standards" on January 6 when a crowd of pro-Trump rioters overran the Capitol building.

Acting US Capitol Police chief Yogananda Pittman called the insurrection a"terrorist attack" and offered her"sincerest apologies on behalf of the department," according to her prepared remarks during a briefing for lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee with a number of agencies that had a role in security on January 6.

Just seeing her you know why the police failed. She looks puzzled and unqualified to be acting head. Laughable !!!

You guys like Terrorists so much...you see them everywhere...is it a hallucination?

wow and the dems and left had riots going to ppls homes threatening them burned cites and gov buildings looted businesses all summer but no outrage double standards much

That’s convenient

It wasn’t terrorist attack at all it was a bunch of pissed off American people tired of how the government is doing them I watched it

Did the prior leadership who resigned from the House and Senate give testimony?

That's a start.

It was a riot and protest.

Perspective.

And what does she call the riots last year ? Peaceful protests?

Telling it like it is takes courage. Any coward can tell them what they wish to hear.

euronews You don’t say, out of curiosity what were they calling it before?

CapitolHill Police failed & Capitol was ransacked, now if Republicans fail to convict Trump, not only Capitol Hill but all fifty states in US will be held hostage by constant threat from gun-wielding, domestic terrorists 'exoneration' validates violence
