recommendations on how to best avoid future collapses of civil order and violence at the Capital. I've stated on numerous occasions that I support the work of law enforcement agencies to prosecute those who committed violent acts on January 6th.
There are a number of videos of my associates and me arriving at the Capitol on January 6th, after the violence had begun, but early in the stage—in the early stages of law breaking. And those videos our group can be seen working with officers to try ta end the violence and law-breaking. We can be seen yelling and screaming at people to stop trying to breach the Capitol, and to stop violent law-breaking in general. I believe those videos have been provided to the committee. If they have not, we'll happily share them.
While I was actively trying to deescalate events at the Capitol to end the violence and law-breaking, it is my believe that this many have not been a problem had the Women for America First leadership at the Ellipse event not intentionally removed instructions from the program that were supposed to be included to provide clarity on exactly where to go following the Ellipse event, and that was to Lot 8, the north side of Capitol Grounds, where we had a permit.
When I protested the removal of these instructions, I was barred from participating as an organizer or speaker at the Ellipse event that preceded the Capitol riot. Ultimately, I became just a VIP guest at the Ellipse event. As a result, civil authority collapsed before the Ellipse rally was even over, this is well-documented before I arrived and before my event was ever scheduled to begin. I want to clarify, my permitted event at Lot 8 never took place on the northeast side of the Capitol Grounds. The quote, "One Nation Under God" event that Stop the Steal did not start the chaos. The chaos was well underway before our event was scheduled to begin. We never held our event, we weren't allowed to.
