Hundreds of Trump supporters breached security barricades and stormed up to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., as both chambers of Congress convened to affirm the Electoral College votes cast in the 2020 election Wednesday afternoon.
Thousands had traveled from out of state to gather in Washington in protest of the election, which President Trump and his allies have maintained was fraudulent.
Things appeared to carry on peacefully earlier in the day, but as the joint session of Congress kicked off in the early afternoon, a large group of individuals appeared to storm through outer barricades surrounding the Capitol building, where lawmakers deliberated inside.
Video posted to Twitter by Washington Post reporter Rebecca Tan showed Trump supporters approaching the rear of the building.

Then, BlazeTV reporter Elijah Schaeffer posted video as the group reached the outside of the building and were confronted by police.
"Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun," he tweeted. "This is the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. Thousands, police can't stop them."

More video from the scene posted on social media showed a large group of individuals continuing to wrestle with law enforcement outside the U.S. Capitol.

Politico's Melanie Zanona reported that the Madison building on Capitol Hill was evacuated as a result of the increasingly hostile protests.

It is unclear at this point whether the storming of the Capitol was a coordinated or impromptu event. Interestingly, a paper notice found in the National Mall indicated that "a national militia" was being organized to "defend the Constitution and the Republic." However, there is no evidence connecting the movement from the crowd with the notice.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
Eisenhower repub in name only...way out of date on, reality. Leaving, we’ve done our task..long drive.
Yes, exactly, we have been promised the Antichrist Great Reset. Nothing has been done about China, either. Supposedly all the people who care about democracy and human rights haven’t cared about China, or Hong Kong, or the rest of the countries that aren’t free.
Tear gas deployed
Curfew coming up........
Lines of police cruisers and gas masks
Yep
“At this point, I don’t really care who is doing it.”
Amen!
BiteMe looked like John Gill, too.
No follow up on the lady shot in critical. The cover up begins.
Fox just aired Trump’s message...He laid it on the line not backing off one inch on the freudulent election...Fox news just projected Ossoff as victor in GA. Senate will be 50/50 with Harris as the tie breaker.
She was armed with a Trump flag. The leftist are cheering...In fact they've said they want to kill all Trump supporters.
The Proud Boys said they would be in DC but not using their usual colors, but blending in. Their leader was arrested for previous acts when he arrived.
No we shouldn’t have.
Occupation.

Chris Christie spewing on ABC
This is what happens when government turns against citizens. This is also the result when government chooses political parties favoring one against the other. Fabricating charges against one side and facilitating felonies to overthrow a duly elected President.
I’ll take the Patriots over the communist’s and even spot them seven.
Till then, my faith remains in the Word of God and my hope is in 1’st Thessalonians 4:13-18
Maybe even fake needle
This is the sort of evil we’re up against:
“The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) is an anti-abortion organization that presents itself as “a group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.” CMP is largely known for its deceptive attacks on Planned Parenthood, the reproductive health provider.”
https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Center_for_Medical_Progress
The deception is totally on the part of Planned Parenthood and the Antichrist system that enables it. And now the corrupt, false-witness court is persecuting Daleiden even more:
“SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — On top of over $2 million in damages a court ordered he and his anti-abortion cohorts to pay last year for secretly recording abortion providers, David Daleiden and his associates were hit with another $13.6 million bill for Planned Parenthood’s legal costs this week.”
Truly Satan is tightening his grip here, sadly to the destruction of many. I am so thankful for the love and mercy of God for giving me the gift of faith.
They won’t blame it on Antifa, EVER
And the establishment of a State Media
Was reported to be around 2000, and looks that way to me. I remember the Vietnam protests when many thousands marched in the streets, but about 2000 would mob the Pentagon, and come back to DC covered with teargas fumes.
