America’s Enemies Celebrate Chaos at the U.S. Capitol
It was a sad day for Democracy, but at least the Ayatollah and Putin are happy.
Chaos at the Capitol
On Wednesday, a mob of President Trump’s supporters breached the nation’s legislative building, leaving an aftermath of four people dead and over 60 arrests, DC officials say.
Videos posted online showed protestors climbing the walls of the building, pushing through police barricades and breaking windows.
There were reports that the noise of the protestors could be heard from inside the Senate and House chambers, shortly before they were overrun.
Lawmakers, staffers, reporters, and other workers in the Capitol went into hiding while heavily armed police and FBI agents executed a response.
