amna nawaz reports. >> nawaz: they broke through barricades, assaulted police, smashed their way into the capitol, and sent lawmakers into hiding. yet, even as the attack was playing out, there were already alrnative narratives being spun about who was to blame. >> some reports that antifa sympathizers may have been sprinkled throughout the crowd. >> possibly antifa insurrectionists possibly could have infiltrated some of these movements and maybe instigated some of this. >> the "washington times" has just reported some pretty compelling evidence from a facial recognition company showing that some of the people who breached the capitol today were not trump supporters. they were masquerading as trump supporters and, in fact, were members of the violent terrorist group, antifa! >> in the first hours and days afterward, you could see trump and his allies and supporters sort of groping for what the appropriate narrative was. >> nawaz: david graham is a staff writer at “the atlaic” magazine. >> so, on the one hand, you had trump coming out with his video on the day of saying, "we love
