He then attempted to tie Paul up "until Nancy got home," and was still "waiting for Nancy" when police arrived, sources said.

But it was soon deleted, with the author acknowledging Monday that “though I [and] others have not seen the type of glass debris that was present in this case, [it apparently did indicate a break-in from outside](https://twitter.com/DWWilber1/status/1587211619628728320).” There, on camera, was a man with a hammer, breaking a glass panel and entering the speaker’s home, according to three people familiar with how Capitol Police learned of the break-in and who have been briefed on or viewed the video themselves. And it — along with everything else — reinforces that this was just as baseless as it seemed. However — now, I’ve investigated a ton of burglaries and forcible entries using glass — that is not that unusual, quite honestly, Jesse, when you smash out something — especially when there’s film attached to it.

Former President Donald Trump has joined a chorus of conservative voices who have shared baseless conspiracy theories about the attack on House Speaker Nancy ...

It would’ve been easy, and it would’ve suggested to the world that he still has some sense of right and wrong. It would’ve required very little effort for him to simply condemn the attack, denounce political violence, and extend best wishes to the victim and his family. The window was broken in and it was strange the cops were standing there practically from the moment it all took place. Asked if he was prepared to “tone down” his rhetoric under the circumstances, Trump [replied](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/i-could-really-tone-it-up-trump-shows-little-interest-in-uniting-the-nation-during-crises/2018/10/26/6a859c38-d891-11e8-a10f-b51546b10756_story.html), “I could really tone it up.” The most obvious problem with the former president’s rhetoric is that it’s ridiculously wrong. The glass it seems was broken from the inside to the out so it wasn’t a break in, it was a break out. “Wow, it’s — weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks. The Republican added, “It’s a lot of bad stuff and I’m not a fan of Nancy Pelosi, but what’s going on there is very sad.

Similar signs of Republican candidates manoeuvring for possible mischief can be seen in other swing states that were at the epicentre of Trump’s efforts to destroy democracy. The center’s democracy experts decided months before the 2020 election that the chaos surrounding then President Trump’s campaign merited their attention. But the fact that so many candidates are already laying down objections in a repetition of Trump’s 2020 tactics suggests there may be trouble ahead.
