WASHINGTON D.C. -- U.S. House Rep. Emanuel Cleaver spoke to KCTV5 News on Wednesday shortly after protestors breached the U.S. Capitol.
Cleaver called Wednesday one of the worst days in American history, one nearly unprecedented.
“This is one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our Republic," Cleaver said. “This is a threat to our system of government. One member of Congress actually called for Civil War a couple of days ago.”
Cleaver, like many of his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives, was forced to remain in his office while protestors breached the U.S. Capitol building.
He was not injured, but said the day could leave many wonder if democracy can thrive in the United States.
"People are going to wonder if democracy can last in our country right now," he said. "Frankly, this is the worst day for democracy perhaps since the Civil War.”

The Civil War, when the states controlled by Democrats fought to retain slavery.
Four people have been shot and killed without cause.
But you’ll hear nothing in the news, Meanwhile thousands in Seattle And Minneapolis looted and committed arson without ANY gun barrels leveled at them.
They were unarmed and simply going into the People’s House.No acts of looting or arson were committed like in Minneapolis and Portland. The Pearl Clutchers, particularly in the Republican Party, were almost dying of apoplexy because the supposedly sacred precincts of Congress were invaded while the precincts of Minneapolis and Seattle are defined as less sacred? A line was crossed? Buahahahahahahahaha!
Democrat lefty srson, and lootimg violence OK, Republican protest BAD!Shoot the Republicans?
What a laugh? The Democrtas CAUSED THIS. But the Republicans are clutching their pearls instead of fighting back.
The pearl clutchers are so upset over the fact that Republicans became slightly “violent” after 4 years of the Swamp trying to usurp a duly elected president of the United States.
This isn’t over.
BTT
It was, but only because our overlords confirmed a fraudulent election and told the little Americans who wanted to be heard in this country to f’ off.
The Demonicrats and the enemydia have display their true traitorous nature in the last 24 hours.
As I said yesterday, this is what happens when Donald Trump and his 73 million supporters are pissed on for 4 years.
Cowards circling the waggons.
Look at them cockroaches using the big deceptive words.
Eff’ing ridiculous. They are scared as sht of the democratic republic.
Every group has a percentage who Go Too Far.
The MAGA hotheads took it too far, and discredited themselves. They made it a little harder to be a Trump supporter.
Where is the difference between them (the hotheads, not the whole group) and the statue destroyers? The hot heads attacked an American institution — the Congress.
Yeah, Congress is corrupt. Yeah, they haven’t been listening to We The People. Yeah, reform on many fronts os needed.
Bu this ain’t the way.
If the whole group had made a five-abreast column, and marched in a giant circle, surrounding the Capital, they’d have made as big a memorable spectacle and given the critics nothing to use against them.
The hotheads blew it for Trump and all his supporters.
There may well be a time for violence. This wasn’t it.
They played into the hands of The Swamp.
They will circle the waggons. The snow flakes in schools, the global warming hysterics, the covid mongers, the corruptocrats, the feckless blackmailed FBI, the cops shooting that woman, even many in the military such as in the Air Force and Navy... bunch of cowards circling the waggons on a bunch of suburbanites with trump hats pushing in the Capitole.
They make me puke.
The most unamerican display of bull sht cowardice I have ever seen. Totally pathological, trying to find ore excuses to sell out to China what not.
Leftists burn and loot across the country, not even a flinch.
Conservatives show outrage over a stolen election... worst day ever.
And they really do see things that way. They hate us, and one way or another, they’re going to be rid of us.
Could not agree more. When one party through its tyranny, its criminal actions, its rejection of the will of the people brings the common man to the place of abject revulsion, that party ought to be embarrassed. Indeed the Democrat party ought to be charged with crimes against the people instead of lauded and applauded for their blatant criminal actions.
This is a Revolution Mr.Cleaver. By the way how’s the Beaver doin?
We need a month long nationwide Trucker Strike.
Maybe Cleaver needs to understand the full definition of Civil War?
thats one shot, 3 dies of medical emergencies being pushed around by police.
See post #16!
I corrected myself. The news is all over the place, little good reporting.
WHO SHOT ASHLI BABBIT?
Crickets.
It was an elderly guy in a suit as yet unidentified. NOT capitol police.
Crickets when antifa Burned Down cities and tried to kill cops.
Electing this twerp was an embarassment to the nation.
