    Not reported here, but on TV insiders saying blasts were heard, gunfire, or cherrybombs or something like that. Pepper spray has been used.

    The protesters now have breached and stormed the Capitol building.

    Trump could stop this, but he's fanning the flames. Trump has caused this, and he must be held accountable. We are witnessing real time sedition committed by Donald Trump.

    DC police have called for help from other law enforcement agencies.

    Story developing....

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/us-capitol-lockdown/index.html

    The US Capitol is on lockdown amid a tense situation with demonstrators outside the building, according to Capitol police officers, as President Donald Trump's supporters attempt to break into the building while lawmakers count the Electoral College votes certifying President-elect Joe Biden's win.

    Hundreds of pro-Trump protesters have gathered on the House side of the Capitol building. CNN personnel inside the House building report hearing fireworks and chants of "USA! USA!" The protesters have breached exterior security barriers, and video footage shows protesters gathering and some clashing with police near the Capitol building. Shortly after 1 p.m. pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling officers "traitors" for doing their jobs.

    Trump Tweet, 7 min ago

    Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

    Trump is instigating this, and only he can stop it.

    Trump rallied the protesters to take over the Capitol building in the first place.

    This idiot needs to be in jail, not in the Presidency.

    Trying to excuse ass-hat behavior by pointing out other ass-hat behavior is the rationalization of a 5 year old.

    Yeah, because murder by cop is the same as losing an election.

    Meh... they won't hurt anything. They are not Leftists. They may even clean up any messes that were there prior.

    Where's the National Guard to get those crazy Trumpsters off that place?
    They are not patriots. They are fascist rebels. :(

    Perhaps this situation should be treated the same way...with tear gas and riot squads.

    When did Antifa ever storm the halls of congress, in order to overturn an election? So, stop with your false equivalency.

    That tweet is absolutely crazy. Regardless of what he may believe he has to realize that rhetoric is only going to make the situation worse.

    once something like this starts, not even sure Trump can stop it - we just have to hope it doesn't get anyone hurt or killed

    Missed the point. Well get used to it. We can create a new government when the old one stops working

    Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!
