The man directly responsible for the chaos of today is Donald Trump, who has made it clear that he will do anything to remain in power – including insurrection and inciting violence. Trump will go down in history as the worst and most dangerous president in history.
Twitter said Wednesday it has locked President Trump's account for 12 hours and warned for the first time that it may suspend him permanently. The temporary lock reflects Trump's violation of the Twitter rules, the company said. https://t.co/P0djIWfwDI
I have seen Capitol Police shut down pretty much everything within a few square blocks of the Capitol because a mentally ill woman drove her car into a barricade. Why are people just able to mill around on the Capitol grounds today?
For those still wondering what white privilege is, it is on full display at the Capitol right now. Had these mobs been Black or Brown, they wouldn’t have been allowed to reach the steps! #ShameOnPOTUS for inciting this coup!
@VP time to save your soul. Evoke the #25thAmendmentNow and continue the count as soon as the Capitol is safe. Domestic terrorism must not win. #stepupPence
Billy Piper, a former chief of staff to @senatemajldr, says Congress should reconvene when and how possible, try to conclude the electoral college process today.
“Hope it can be televised to show that the institutions will not break under terrorism,” he says.
All of you who “just couldn’t” vote for @HillaryClinton in 2016, this is on you! You did this by voting for that lunatic and unfit leader in the White House today. Shame on you.
@IvankaTrump Shame on you too for enabling the insanity of your sick Father! These are terrorists, all of this incited by your dear old Dad. Disgusting.
All of you Republicans in elected positions and right-wing media who have enabled, emboldened, and normalized Trump’s abuses of power for the last 4 years, you who have promoted lies and conspiracy theories, YOU OWN THIS.
Congratulations. You have turned the US into Venezuela.
Wake up everyone this is America now. Don't pretend to be shocked. This is what your "protest" vote in 2016 unleashed. Ya'll did this. You voted for a reality show con man in the face of overwhelming evidence that he was unfit to be President. #CoupAttempt
