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.
No we probably won’t, they will keep the story as Trump supporters to then banish Trump and us forever. They might even charge Trump with inciting a riot..watch and see.
Why are we so desperate for this to be Antifa?
Just accept that there’s a few people on our side with balls. Maybe not many, but a few.
To Jake’s left is a guy in red sweatshirt. To his left is a young woman with black slacks.
I think she was the one killed.
Maybe
Somehow the TV shows forgot about the “mostly peaceful” description for today’s protest. 200,000 or so completely peaceful people .... how many idiots trying to ruin it for everyone else? I call that “mostly peaceful.”
Although it was true a woman was shot and sustained life-threatening injuries during the Capitol riots, claims her “name was Roberta Paulson” appeared to be a hoax based on the line from Fight Club. NBC has reported that the woman did not survive.

viewed in slow motion, the female shooting victim seems to be wearing a trump PENCE flag... imho, the “N” and “C” can be clearly read...
Traitor Pence speaking now, what a snake. Absolute jerk.
Hearing Pence and turtle and the rest now they learned nothing still traitors.
So here we are with the set up for the antichrist and then the return of our Lord Jesus.
Schoomer. How eloquent. Makes me want to shed a tear that the Congress is being picked on by those big bad protestors!
And they have no one to protect them ...
A day that will live in infamy, indeed
yep the same who will complain and not do a damn thing
So he does all events, not just Antifa/BLM?
He was at some events in Arizona, apparently he was a 2nd amendment event somewhere, too.
Is he Antifa or just a whacky Trump supporter? I don't know. But his bio says he's an "actor," so he could be playing a role. It's possible that the people he was photographed with in the Capitol were just there with him by chance and he took a photo with them.
But I still ask, why was HE the first inside? Why was HE always the spectacle at these rallies? What was HIS motive? And why were those two others ALSO there with him in that photo? If it WAS by chance, why does the guy with the hammer and sickle tattoo get in first and not someone else? And why does a guy on the Philly Antifa site AND the guy with the horns costume meet on the floor of Congress?
I'm way past accepting the "coincidence" or "lone wolf" or "rogue" excuses. If these guys were photographed together storming the Capitol, they were in on it together. Trump supporters don't wear communist tattoos; Trump supporters don't appear smiling on Antifa websites. That's my belief.

You need an explanation? There were NOT 13 million more votes than registered voters. In every case where someone asserted that there were more votes than those registered, they were using bad information, or just guessing.
It would be trivially easy to prove if the total number of votes exceeded the total number of registered voters. So it’s not like someone is “hiding” the truth, it simply is not true.
If you think it is possible, you should volunteer as a poll worker. You would find that this is one of their major tasks, to reconcile at the end of the day the votes cast against the number of people checked off in the poll books (the poll books having only registered voters).
Anybody not in poll books votes provisionally, and the provisional ballots are then worked on, and only accepted if the voter can prove they were registered. It is unusual for a poll book to be missing a valid registered voter.
Anyway, it is also false that there were dumps of additional ballots in the middle of the night. That though is more of a white lie, as there were absentee ballots which were being brought to counting centers from their storage facilities, and apparently in some jurisdictions that happened in the overnight (Virginia we deliver them to a “central” precinct the day of the election, and they are counted there and reported that way).
Most every report of “massive fraud” have zero actual evidence. The stories sound amazing, because they are not based in reality.
The real “fraud” of the election is things like allowing 3rd parties to see who people are voting for, meaning you have corruption in the ballot process; people voting for seniors in nursing homes, people harvesting ballots, maybe discarding some they don’t like (not a lot of evidence of that — states allow you to check whether your ballot was received, and everybody who votes absentee should do that, and show up on election day if the state computers don’t register their vote).
Anyway, I hope that explains things in sufficient detail.
the real fraud is mail in ballots ..PERIOD
millions mailed out then put in drop boxes and the people counting deciding if the ballots are worthy or not are dem keeping R’s out...is a joke.
who are these people who sent in these mail in ballots? Are they alive or dead? Are they a baby or an 18 year old? Are they legal citizen or not? See? Oh and lets not forget the changing of election laws of how and when/how long these ballots can be counted were changed NOT VIA THE STATE LEGISLATORS, it was to make it easier to commit fraud...erm I mean help people vote due to COVID PANIC..erm Pandemic.
Hell yes those were MAIL IN BALLOT DUMPS not just absentee ballots and they were bullshit. Tell me how one county in PA had a dump of ballots of over 100K and ZERO when to POTUS??? The leftist 538 reported this too.
you’re clueless if you think that is even possible and there were no fraud in those middle of the night dumps when anyone with a brain knows out of tens of thousands of ballots, even in the most liberal place, POTUS would get at least ONE EFFING VOTE.
San Francisco POTUS got 10% of the vote yet when these ballot dumps happened in counties in battleground states POTUS got ZERO or maybe ONE percent of the vote from those dumps.
Save your bullshit for someone else.
