So my issue with those articles is there is no named source as the only and main source. Many times people who were there conterdict the accounts in those articles. It came out last year that under pressure of being "first to break a story", there were a lot of journalists pre-writing the stories, including a totally fictional one by CNN about a shooting exchange in the capital building yesterday, which scared the senators. Also she's complained openly how the press were portraying Melania as cold and heartless during Christmas, when she put month of effort and took time to visit children at the border. It might be true, but to me this doesn't pass the sniff test. I think what happened is Trump and everyone else didn't expect it and were caught flat footed, asking the head of police what was happening or national guard. The reason this was historic was because it was the first time members of MAGA rallies turned into an absolute riot. We're still in the fog of the events, so take a grain of skepticism on these kinds of articles, even if it fills your confirmation bias.
