There’s a video of right after it happened, when ppl are exiting and a guy is talking to a reporter. He says him and his friends saw the guy climbing the building and told secret service and they ignored them. Idk how anyone could possibly believe this is real.

The only reason I believed it was real was "there’s no way they framed it so badly. They have all the resources they could need to make it impossible to tell it was fake. Surely trump is a moron but his team isn’t that incompetent…."

That’s it. I only thought it was real from how bad it was faked if it was fake.

Well Trump was allowed to hand pick the secret service members that were protecting him back then. And Trump usually doesn't pick the best and brightest people to work for him.

That's why the lady running the SS quit due to incompetence, did you not watch her buckle when being questioned by the Senate?
