No, not Proud Boys or MAGAists or Great Lovable Patriots, but Republican elites.

These MAGA cannon fodder guys look genuinely surprised when they were shot at. I think they thought they would never be shot at, that was the fate they had for minorities and the poor.

Why were they shot at? This is a mess.

There was a woman who got maced, and someone interviewed her coming out and she was crying, and after asking her her name and where she was from he asked her why she went into the Capitol building, and she said, emphatically, Because it's a revolution!, as if she thought the government was going to let her walk in scot free.

@Layzej
Likely for the same reason minorities are shot at routinely: nothing but intimidation. The difference is that MAGAs aren't used to it.
