The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now. Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building.
Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
.@GOPLeader responds to the breach of the Capitol:
"This is so un-American... I could not be sadder or more disappointed at the way our country looks at this very moment...
This is not the American way.
This is not protected by the First Amendment.
This must stop now."
Rep. Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader:
"What we are currently watching unfold is un-American. I am disappointed. I am sad. This is not what our country should look like."
BREAKING – Trump's Pentagon turned down the request to have National Guard protect the US Capitol.
America is supposed to defend America – not Trump. Are you as furious as I am?
Time for @NYGovCuomo to realize the NYPD is doing its job. Governor is failing in his. NYPD is on battlefield risking their lives to protect us. Cuomo sits back in sheltered world second guessing NYPD heroes. Shameful!
Over the #200DaysOfProgress, @HouseDemocrats have fought to raise wages, defend pre-existing condition protections, and lower prescription drug prices.
Tune in at 10:45 am ET as I speak with reporters live from the Capitol: https://t.co/2fi357l3G3
Reports that the Trump Administration is separating families on the basis of HIV status are outrageous. @DHSgov must clarify that this shameful policy will end immediately. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/EpJN4qaifN
@SpeakerPelosi Thank you for taking time from a busy day! Such an honor, kids and I were very grateful for the opportunity to thank you. We appreciate the work you did for the 9/11 Compensation Fund bill and all the work you continue to do for everyday people and the integrity of our country!
9/11 VCF Bill passed Senate. Victory but reminder of who are/will be sick & who will die from 9/11 illness. @SenMikeLee & @RandPaul voted NO. Sen Paul asked why rush. Ask that to families of 18 cops/firefighters who died in last month. Disgraceful dereliction of duty by Sen Paul.
With my signature, we send bipartisan legislation to the President’s desk to permanently #Renew911VCF. He must sign it into law immediately. Our heroes deserve to know they have our full support.
