Even in the height of the January 6 hysteria on Capitol Hill, there is always the chance to look around and laugh at the insanity. Case in point the following headlines:
NY Post: FBI seized US Capitol Lego set from alleged riot leader
MSN: FBI seizes fully constructed US Capitol Lego set
YDR: Pennsylvania riot suspect constructed Capitol from Lego blocks
OH NO!! The HORROR! Not a completed lego set like the ones they offer in the gift shop?! Seeing the hypocrisy was easy, and therefore Conservative Twitter does what it does best, meme. They were plentiful and hilarious. Enjoy.

The memes got so bad that LEGO has reportedly stopped selling the Capitol LEGO set.

TikTok had its say too:
@newsjoke I don’t like this guy’s wild style. #news #satire #lego #fbi #joke #comedy
Just in case you thought it was an innocuous headline, some people believe this:
The beyond a shadow of a doubt evidence that Jan 6 defendant Robert Morss planned with others to overthrow our constitutional republic include (i) guns, (ii) a notebook featuring a “step by step [how] to create a hometown militia, & (iii) a fully constructed US Capitol lego set.” pic.twitter.com/8sfhc31hm0
