Matthew Warshauer, a history professor at Central Connecticut State University, staged the Capitol attack with skeleton sculptures in the front yard of his ‘Halloween House’ in West Hartford, Connecticut, on Monday.
“That might seem like a ridiculous thing to want to document, but the fact that you have got Trump and so many other politicians and others in this country claiming that was just a regular tourist day? It is the definition of insanity,” said Matthew Warshauer.
Several dozen terrifying skeletons, dressed like January’s Capitol attackers, scaled the 2.5-metre (8-foot) wall while armoured skeletons battled the intruders at the main entrance.
“If this can happen to the Capitol building, I worry about myself sometimes,” he added.
At least 138 police officers were hospitalised after the Capitol attack in January.

SOT, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University: “The message I am sending is very simple: this happened. That might seem like a ridiculous thing to want to document but the fact that you have got Trump and so many other politicians and others in this country claiming that was just a regular tourist day? It is the definition of insanity.”

SOT, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University: “I do political stuff and sometimes it can be controversial. Most of the time people are very positive in what they have to say, but there have been times in the past that people are extremely negative. We are in a place in our society where negativism has bubbled to the surface. If this can happen to the Capitol building, I worry about myself sometimes.”

SOT, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University: “First night we put it up a guy walked up, looked and said: ‘So, whats your point?’ and I said: ‘Well that is sort of for you to decide’ - he did not get it. But when kids come up and they go: ‘Wow, this is what happened to the Capitol.’ Why a 12-years-old get it and an adult does not? Because he does not want to get it.”

SOT, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University: “When you use visuals and you use caricature, which goes back to the colonial times, the American revolution, using effigies and things like this. It taps into a different sensory level, it does not have to be read, it just has to be taken in, it is a different way to get to people.”
