Republican Rep. Mike Nearman is caught on security camera holding door open to let right-wing demonstrators storm the Oregon Capitol

* Newly-released video shows Oregon Rep. Mike Nearman exiting the Oregon State Capitol building on December 21
* As he leaves, far-right demonstrators brush past him and enter the building
* The protestors are then seen fighting with police who are trying to eject them
* Four people were arrested and police were pepper sprayed during the incident

Newly released security video shows an Oregon lawmaker holding the door open for armed, far-right demonstrators to illegally enter the Oregon State Capitol building last December.

The footage from inside the Oregon State Capitol building in Salem, Oregon, shows Republican Rep. Mike Nearman leaving the building at about 8.30am on December 21, 2020.

On that day, lawmakers were holding a special session to address the coronavirus pandemic. The building was closed to the public.

Nearman is seen in the video pushing open an interior set of doors, before quickly crossing a short vestibule to get to the street-side door. 

As Nearman pushes the street door open and exits the building, a casually-dressed man - carrying an American flag - brushes past Nearman and hurries into the Capitol building, managing to catch the interior door before it closes. A second casually-dressed man then appears, propping open the street door.

Both men can be seen gesturing for people outside, off camera, to enter the building. Within seconds, people - identified as being far-right protesters - are seen trickling into the building.

It takes about 30 seconds for state police officers to rush into the lobby from a different part of the building and forcibly push the interlopers back out onto the street.   

Seconds later, protesters can be seen arguing with the police and trying to push their way back into the building, by which point Salem police and state troopers have also arrived as backup for the state troopers.

He needs to resign, all who let the rioters in need to be arrested and put behind bars

Let's not dwell on the negative news and be positive like  Azanne07 suggested.

Unless people are blind, they can see  he did NOT hold the door open for the rioters.  As for resigning, arresting and jailing people, people are too quick to listen to the naysayers and it seems like it's only Republicans that are asked to resign for doing their civic duty. Gotta learn the rules, regulations, and laws of not only the Constitution but government. The Dems don't seem to know them or else they wouldn't be jumping into changing the rules so quickly. The hate on that side is the worse I've ever seen it all because of a president who wasn't beholden to anyone.
