The Republicans heavily criticized the installation of metal detectors after the Capitol breach. Calling the installation that the Democrats insisted on.
DEMS have allowed the installation of metal detectors in the U.S. Capitol by the Capitol Police (USCP). The Republicans called it an overreaction that is uncalled.
According to Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the DEMS are running amuck and overdoing political correctness. He told a reporter that there is no threat inside; it s outside. All the resources used inside cannot be applicable outside, reported The Epoch Times.
Davis (GOP) is a top member of the GOP House Committee on Administration with oversight authority over the U.S. Capitol Police. Adding that too many changes are made that is not what is needed. The necessary response that needs to be done is overlooked. Instead, security for specific concerns is preferred.

One day after Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat from New Jersey, alleged that members of Congress led tours of rioters on a reconnaissance mission the day before the attack on the Capitol, 31 members of Congress sent a letter to the acting House Sergeant of Arms, acting Senate Sergeant of Arms, and acting chief of the US Capitol Police asking them to investigate the matter further.
Democratic Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, one of the co-signers of the letter, confirmed to CNN that she saw groups of tours of people in MAGA apparel one or two days before the attack.
