And according to an investigative report released on Wednesday, June 2,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2021/06/02/oregon-rep-mike-nearman-intended-to-allow-demonstrators-to-breach-capitol-new-report-suggests/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Oregon&nbsp;<b>State Sen. Mike Nearman</b></a><b>&nbsp;"more likely than not" helped them get into the building, which was closed to the public and locked.</b></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The seven-page report was authored by Melissa Healy, a private attorney, and it came about as a result of complaints against Nearman — a far-right Republican from Polk County. The report reads, "The evidence supports a conclusion that it is more likely than not that Rep. Nearman intentionally aided demonstrators in breaching Capitol security and entering the building on December 21, 2020, when it was closed to the public."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Although Oregon is a deep blue state — the last Republican to carry Oregon in a presidential election was Ronald Reagan in 1984 — it isn't without its far-right wingnuts and extremists.

Patriot Prayer are allies of the Proud Boys — another group with a history of violence — and were strong supporters of former President Donald Trump during the 2020 election.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Democrats in the Oregon State Legislature believe that Nearman endangered their safety by helping members of Patriot Prayer and other groups get into the Oregon Capitol Building on December 21, 2020. Some of the demonstrators, according to the report Healy authored, were armed.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Dirk VanderHart, a reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting, explains, "As lawmakers met in a special legislative session to take up COVID-19 relief that day,&nbsp;<a href="file:///C:/Users/breas/OneDrive/Documents/Windows%20Files%20(PC)/AlterNet%20Folder%202021%20(PC)/One%20man%20is%20accused%20of%20spraying%20officers%20with%20bear%20mace,%20allowing%20the%20crowd%20to%20make%20its%20way%20further%20into%20the%20building.%20Several%20people%20were%20arrested%20before%20the%20Capitol%20was%20cleared,%20and%20members%20of%20the%20crowd%20went%20on%20to%20shatter%20glass%20doors%20and%20assault%20journalists%20outside%20the%20building.%20Nearman,%20meanwhile,%20promptly%20walked%20around%20the%20building%20and%20entered%20on%20the%20opposite%20side%20less%20than%20six%20minutes%20after%20he%20exited,%20the%20report%20says." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">surveillance footage</a>&nbsp;showed Nearman exiting the locked Capitol Building into a throng of protesters who were trying to get inside the statehouse. In doing so, he appeared to purposely grant entrance to far-right groups demanding an end to ongoing restrictions related to COVID-19."</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to VanderHart, "Shortly after that breach, demonstrators scuffled with state troopers and Salem police. One man is accused of spraying officers with bear mace, allowing the crowd to make its way further into the building. Several people were arrested before the Capitol was cleared, and members of the crowd went on to shatter glass doors and assault journalists outside the building.&nbsp;<b>Nearman, meanwhile, promptly walked around the building and entered on the opposite side less than six minutes after he exited, the report says."</b></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The assault on the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 made Democratic state lawmakers in Oregon even more troubled by the events of December 21, 2020.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">"More than two-dozen Democratic state representatives filed a workplace complaint against Nearman on January 12," VanderHart notes. "The investigation says that David Hartsfeld, the facility services manager at the Capitol, filed a complaint against Nearman on February 23.</span>"</font></p><div class="around-the-web"><div class="from-your-siteheadline" style="font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">FROM YOUR SITE ARTICLES</font></div><ul class="around-the-weblist" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; width: 589.446px; list-style: none;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" /><li class="from-your-siteitem"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="https://www.alternet.org/2021/05/proud-boys-video/" class="from-your-sitelink" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s; font-weight: lighter; line-height: normal; display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;">The Proud Boys mark their threatening return in Oregon - Alternet.org ›</a></font></font></font></font></li><li class="from-your-siteitem"><a href="https://www.alternet.org/2021/05/rep-mike-nearman/" class="from-your-sitelink" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s; font-weight: lighter; line-height: normal; display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;">Republican lawmaker charged for role in Oregon Capitol riot ... ›</a></li></ul><div class="around-the-webheadline" style="font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 10px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">RELATED ARTICLES AROUND THE WEB</font></div><ul class="around-the-weblist" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; width: 589.446px; list-style: none;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" /><li class="around-the-webitem"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/01/us/mike-nearman-oregon-charged-protesters.html" class="around-the-weblink" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s; font-weight: lighter; line-height: normal; display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;">Representative Mike Nearman of Oregon, Who Let in Protesters, Is ... ›</a></font></font></font></font></li><li class="around-the-webitem"><a href="https://katu.com/news/local/groups-call-for-lawmakers-to-oust-state-rep-mike-nearman" class="around-the-weblink" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s; font-weight: lighter; line-height: normal; display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;">Groups call for lawmakers to oust state Rep.
