Some say,

A D.C. resident in his forties was arrested tonight trying to enter the U.S. Capital building, while the body of President Jimmy Carter is lying in State. The man was carrying four bladed weapons (including a machete) when he tried to go through security:

“The arrest took place just hours before President-elect Donald Trump was scheduled to visit the Capitol to pay his respects to Carter and meet with Republican senators. The man, 44-year-old Mel Horne of Washington, D.C., was stopped when police officers spotted the machete in his bag during an X-ray screening in the Capitol Visitor Center just after 2 p.m. ET, according to the U.S. Capitol Police.”

Upon arriving at the Rotunda following the arrest, President-Elect Trump is said to have remarked that

“This fellow, people tell me he is a good guy, and a tourist like the MAGA folks a few years back! I think his arrest is another case of lawfare and overreach, and I will grant clemency on Day One.”

The President-Elect then stepped away to take a phone call from Clarence Thomas and Stormy Daniels.

On the same line.
