Capitol Hill buildings evacuated as Trump supporters clash with police

Capitol Hill buildings evacuated as Trump supporters clash with police (fox13now.com)

Protesters have torn down a barrier. Fireworks going off outside the Capitol. People in a tower telling the crowd to press forward. "Move forward and we can beat them." Throwing things are police. Crowd pushing up chanting USA. This is unreal

The violent right can't contain itself. The main source of domestic terror, not surprising.

Wait a minute! I thought the left were the violent ones who threw hissy fits when they lost? Could that have been.......a lie?

and Trump is all too happy to rile them up even more. he's blaming everyone else but himself for his loss (as expected). what a lunatic

What a great leader Trump is. Truly inspiring.

So much for 'law and order'.

I wish the best for Capitol Police and other law enforcement who have the face these lunatics.

Idiots. Acting like Antifa and other morons isn't the way to do anything. Or is it?? I get different opinions here.

But seriously, they are idiots.

Not defending them....but Antifa has never done anything like this,

ELIJAH SCHAFFER on Twitter: "BREAKING: revolution in process as Trump supporters break into the Capitol building, attacking police, breaking windows, and knocking down doors Full anarchy at this “mostly peaceful” demonstration DC The people have pushed through & are storming to main chambers https://t.co/NW6VDDNBQw" / Twitter

This is insane.

@zaryia: They haven't???

It's all shit and they're all idiots. Shit's dangerous and they need to GTFO.

These people are probably the same ones that got all pissy about the BLM protest and Antifa riots. F$%K these hypocrites. Trump caused this shit and it is all on him now.

Trump has no excuses for what he has caused. He needs to step up and tell these people to back off. He will not do it because this is what he wants. Blood will happen and it will totally be his fault.

Antifa raided the capitol hill buildings? link? Floor members had to be evacuated....

Look both suck, but holy ****.

Traitors. Trump supporters need to hide and never speak. Call in the military, they can’t stop Biden bring president.

the ****?

lol

What a bunch of losers!!! 14 more days and their cult leader is gone good riddance!!! seriously what a national embarrassment.

The Capitol is in lockdown. It's crazy. This is scary stuff.

NPR: U.S. Capitol Locked Down Amid Escalating Far-Right Protests

saw video of these dopes dispensing fire extinguishers inside the building at the capitol police

having your supporters force their way into a meeting in an attempt to overturn an election is about as anti-democratic as it gets. these same idiots are the ones claiming to be 'patriots' and following 'law and order'. what a bunch of pathetic morons

Terrorism

Wasn't this the side that is pro-democracy, pro peaceful protest, pro law and order?

From the AP: House members told to don gas masks at Capitol

2:50 p.m.

Members of Congress inside the House chamber were told by police to put on gas masks after tear gas was dispersed in the Capitol Rotunda amid skirmishes by supporters of President Donald Trump

Traitors.

Those who breached the Capitol and caused violence should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

@Pedro: All logical people, from both sides, condemn this.

I don't know how many people are inside, but at least the people outside are being peaceful and not damaging shit...so far.

As that radical left news station called BBC just said, if these weren't images from the USA they would be commenting that this were images from a failed state.

@comp_atkins: At least they are not breaking windows.

National Guard has been called. Please take care of these idiots/hypocrites please. Seriously anyone that supports what is going on is about as anti american as you can get. I will give props to Pence for finally standing up against Trump. He has done absolutely nothing as VP, but at least he got this one thing right.

If this were happening in Ankara or Budapest, lawmakers would call it a coup attempt.

It makes me so angry. If anyone needed another example of why Putin wanted Trump, here it is. Russia is getting exactly what it wanted.

This is crazy and unacceptable.

Bunch of nutjobs.

so where are the "just shoot them" people now????

People pushed this insanity way too hard ever since November, and now they completely destabilized shit. We're pretty much getting closer to being Iraq now

Someone has reportedly been shot.

Brah, if this was Iraq during Saddam's reign these people wouldn't dare 😂

And so it begins. FBI and others have tried to warn people of the dangers of the far right. No one listened and this is the result. These are exactly the type of nut jobs that allowed Hitler to rise to power. If this threat isn't taken seriously, we'll soon have an American Hitler.

if only Trump supporters would instead storm libraries to educate themselves... right now, they are looking like a bunch of morons trying to take down a democracy

Twain once said history rhymes but doesn't repeat.

All I gotta say is look at Rosewood, Tulsa, Wilmington, and Liberty Place for a better understanding of our country, self-proclaimed "patriots", i.e. white supremacists, and some of the politicians and some law enforcement officials that egg them on and ignore their crimes.

Seriously, either this dies out - and I really hope it does - or it all hits the fan. And I was really hoping the news media was overhyping all this. Guess not folks. Guess not.

No words for what is happening right now.

• Unprecedented
• Baffling
• Unacceptable
• Terrorism
• Traitorous

OK maybe there are some words.

On the bright side, at least the world now sees (if they haven't already) Trump supporters for what they are: fanatical, nationalistic cult members.

Hopefully we will now see a bit of common sense return to our politicians as they realize "Wow, these people are insane, do we really want their votes?". Likely not, though.

I think the media makes some of these things manifest.

If you tell people there's going to be a violent protest often enough, there's going to be a violent protest.

That's depressing as hell.

The National Guard needs to come in and get this under control. Pelosi has requested them to come clear the building.

I read mention of that as well.

Right here. I say get it taken care of.

traitors to our democracy.

no other way to describe these idiots.

also, imagine if 30k black or muslim people did this very same thing to the capitol building... the right would lose their minds... whatever minds they have left.

Just a casual, fascist coup attempt, folks. Nothing to see here.

F uck Republicans, they sowed this shit and let this happened.

While Trump is doing nothing, Pence is demanding that these attackers stop immediately.

Can he be president for the next couple of weeks?

Trump wanted this to happen

National Guard refused to respond because protecting the overrun building would be beyond the scope of their original orders, so they need new orders... wow, what a clusterfuck.

Laura Ingraham on Fox news just spewed a bunch of lies... essentially saying that the problem is our institutions.. no mention of the lunatic in the WH. she defended these idiots.

Apparently, the Twitter in chief has condemned the violence and called in the national guard in, which a complete 180 from the "very big, wild, Save America" rally that he said "we will never give up, we will never conceded" and egged on his base as they chanted "fight for Trump!"

He fueled the fire and now wants to "back the blue" to save face. He, and everyone rioting at congress are traitors and should be treated as such.
