It’s Trump’s fault.
This is the biggest breach of the Capitol building's security since members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party indiscriminately opened fire in the House chamber in 1954, wounding five congressmen.

There is no negotiating with extemists.
The president’s lies have unleashed the mob.

This is the consequence of downplaying white male aggression and violence. When those men stormed the Michigan state Capitol, they were treated like “misguided citizens” by media and law enforcement.

Trump is watching violent terrorists attack the US Capitol in his name. His response is to attack his Vice President for not participating in a coup. https://t.co/Uu0mEaJiVH

I just had to evacuate my office because of a pipe bomb reported outside. Supporters of the President are trying to force their way into the Capitol and I can hear what sounds like multiple gunshots. (1/2)

Violent, possibly armed, MAGA lunatics storming the US capitol and fighting police are no longer protestors. This is terrorism. Trump made this happen and @tedcruz @HawleyMO and others have enabled it.

Several suspicious devices outside the Capitol Building.
To be explicitly clear — this is literally right outside the Senate chamber where all senators (and Pence, until he was moved) are. This is a massive, massive security breach. https://t.co/uFvnDzg1er

MSNBC reporting the Secret Service just had to usher Pence out of the Capitol through underground tunnels . . . to protect him from an angry mob sent by Trump.

These MAGA protestors violently storming the capitol are, quite literally, terrorists. This is the definition of terrorism.

Like Congressional office buildings being evacuated, stuff like that?
