A video surfaced Friday night of Republican Oregon Rep. Mike Nearman pushing a door open as he exited the state Capitol, allowing protesters to enter the building as a legislative session was underway.
In the security footage obtained by The Oregonian, the representative exits through two doors, briefly pushing one open more, thereby allowing a protester to enter the premises. More protesters are then seen entering the building before state police force them out, resulting in a scuffle.
At the time of the breach, a coronavirus special session was underway inside the Capitol. Those who entered the building illegally, some carrying rifles, had been protesting the state's COVID-19 restrictions outside at the time, the Oregon outlet reported.
