Speaking to the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday, Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said Chairman Biden’s yet-to-be-announced State of the Union address is the target of domestic terrorists.
According to Chief Pittman, “Members of the militia groups that were present on Jan. 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union.”
Of course, she provided no evidence showing this claim to be true.
The Capitol Police leader used the alleged threat as a precedent for the current large-scale fence erected around the complex and the security buildup in DC.
“So based on that information,” she explained, “we think that it’s prudent that Capitol Police maintain its enhanced and robust security posture until we address those vulnerabilities.”
Pittman also alleged Capitol Police intelligence found the individuals who stormed the Capitol “weren’t only interested in attacking members and officers. They wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation as to who was in charge of that legislative process.”
