Not moving the goal posts at all, the security issue is under investigation and people have been fired. Now, if Trump had anything to do with that than yes he should be charged for that. At that point it was still a rally/protest even though you can question the motive but still a protest.
Why wasn't there better security there considering everything that had happened up to that point and how polarized everything was still from the campaign.

Trump has said and tweeted a lot of things and there absolutely should have been better security, it's really surprising to me to be honest even inside the capital building. I get the US is a free country but this almost seems like a case of being tone deaf and not reading the room so to say.
