‘It was war’: The Atlantic looks at HBO’s terrifying documentary, ‘Four Hours at the Capitol’

This is even bigger than CNN’s Wolf Blitzer taking a selfie with the Capitol in the background to mark the nine-month anniversary of the storming of the Capitol Building. HBO apparently has a new documentary out, “Four Hours at the Capitol,” which, according to The Atlantic’s Sophie Gilbert, is “a vivid, terrifying picture of violent insurrection.”Hahahahaahhaaaahah pic.twitter.com/uKy6kzFjfB— David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense (@davereaboi) October 23, 2021 pic.twitter.com/BBM8Tfrotj— James Poulos (@jamespoulos) October 23, 2021What do words mean?— Ashe Short (@AsheSchow) October 23, 2021It was a genocide— Miles Gloriosus (@tony_percuoco) October 23, 2021The Second American Civil War, I reckon.— Mobius_19 (@PLX_01) October 23, 2021A war with no weapons and the enemy invites you in. 🧢🧢🧢😂😂😂— Bobby (@_statefarmjake_) October 23, 2021War is when you politely don’t knock over the velvet ropes— the stars (@atigersstars) October 23, 2021Yeah, senior citizens strolling through the capital must be terrifying.— Ron Rilee (@Rilesinnewbs) October 23, 2021As we’ve said, prosecute the criminals, but get out here with all of these guilty pleas to “parading in a capital building.”They make it sound based and epic— Corporations & Institutions Posting Their L’s (@wokecorporateLs) October 23, 2021Lowest casualty war in US history.— Aust (@Austin_S_Ross) October 23, 2021Oh, a war now.

If they truly believe this is war, they will feel justified in treating as such.
