Or, if you want to really hypothesize about what happened, it was all for show and he was in on it.
He smashes his way in, dressed in crazy clothes, shouting, making a big production. Then suddenly we switch to, he is calmly and quietly talking with police as they escort him around inside the building all alone.
So why the sudden change? Why did the press and democrat politicians refuse to show him being escorted around after the break in? Maybe it was intentional.
They could very well have had him wear a crazy outfit and act crazy as their poster boy for the insurrection narrative and to show how crazy ultra super mega maga is. He was their biggest used face for the whole thing and plastered him allover the news more than anyone else. They even gave him his nickname.
It's not hard to think perhaps he was staged. He breaks in dressed crazy and only show footage of him doing crazy things and then pleads guilty and goes to jail.
If you bring someone into your cause and brainwash him or pay him enough he will do anything.
Just a theory to explore.
