Pro-Trump Mob Brings Chaos To The Capitol

Unread post by AHE »

Earlier in the day, the president has urged his backers to head to the Capitol.

A woman was shot and killed during the assault, according to Washington, D.C., police.

Trump has falsely and continuously claimed the election was stolen from him, and dozens of fellow Republican allies had planned to object to slates of electors from various states they considered contested.

Lawmakers were debating an objection to Arizona's results — a swing state Trump lost narrowly — when the sessions were recessed as the Capitol Police attempted to put the complex on lockdown.

Violent protesters were seen smashing windows and occupying the House and Senate floors and various lawmakers' offices.

People inside the building were told to shelter in place, and congressional leaders were taken off-site. Members of Congress were told that tear gas was being used in the Capitol Rotunda and that they should get ready to put on masks.
