This is a very interesting claim since this is something that is false since it was covered by CNN that Donald Trump encouraged people to storm the capital. Rioters were mad that Donald Trump lost the election and they were not let in by the police as well. This claim is simply not true and misleading. Police officers were bracing themselves for their lives by trying to stop these people from breaking into the Capitol. Here is more fact checks on this topic covered by CNN a reliable source that is known for covering political media. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/04/politics/fact-check-capitol-insurrection-january-6-lies/index.html
