People breaking through barricades
Members of Congress evacuated
Six policemen injured
DNC headquarters attacked
January 6? Nope
November 15.
Anti-Israel protesters stormed DC last night
"Violent and illegal protests"Protestors clashed with police outside of the Democratic National headquarters as pro-Palestine groups flooded the front facility and violence erupted.
Officers have already made at least one arrest for assault on an officer after 150 activists surged towards the Washington, DC, building on Wednesday night.
The incident left six police officers injured from cuts, pepper spray and being punched.
Protesters assembled to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, but the gathering quickly turned into chaos. Shocking footage from the scene shows police attempting to drag protesters away from the entrance to the DNC building as they chant 'let Gaza live.'
One woman can be seen repeatedly screaming: 'F*** you b****' at an officer who is trying to order her back as protesters surge towards the building.
The Capitol Police urged the public to avoid the area amid the 'violent and illegal' protests.
'Tonight 6 officers were treated for injuries – ranging from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched. One person has been arrested for assault on an officer,' the Capitol police stated.Pepper sprayed, you say.
Congressmen were evacuated
This all sounds a lot like Jan 6.By 8.40pm several roads had been closed as cops worked to subdue the crowds occupying the area outside the headquarters on South Capitol Street.
Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, said he was among those to be evacuated after protesters 'grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building'.
'Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely,' he added in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
I am on Capitol Hill right now and it’s on lockdown. No getting in or out of our offices. We have officers that were pepper sprayed by pro-Hamas protestors with a lot of people attempting to break into the Democratic HQ. Anyone else notice how violent the so-called “ceasefire”… pic.twitter.com/UbtMmLe7Ei

And it's not the first time. Last month:

Congress has jurisdiction.
“In all cases whatsoever”. Article I section 8. Lifted wholesale from the Declaratory Act 1719 and 1768.
The DC “government” has no legitimate authority.
ONE (1) person was arrested.
Yea right, and a “committee” too.
