Luke Mogelson, a veteran war correspondent and contributing writer for the New Yorker, captured footage of rioters storming the U.S. Capitol earlier this month, triggered by Donald Trump's false claim that he won the election.
Mogelson documented his experience, stating, "There seems to be some members of the rioters who are more prepared, and others who seem to be responding in a more spontaneous way and taking orders from those who are more prepared. I did not see anything inside the Capitol that would conclusively indicate some kind of overarching, orchestrated plan. I mostly saw the opposite."
The footage showed rioters pushing past Capitol police and telling the officers to let them in the Capitol. One man can be heard telling an officer, "You're outnumbered. We are listening to Trump – your boss." Mogelson also reported that the crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. You can check out his footage in full above.
