Pres. Trump’s former defense secretary, Jim Mattis, is blaming the president for the “violent assault” at the U.S. Capitol, calling it “an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule.” https://t.co/c0hf8NlnET

If these people were black, they would have been shot.

If they looked like me, they would’ve been called terrorists.

Instead, we use passive voice:

Change is coming. The Senate will be blue. Ossoff about to be confirmed. #democracystrong #CapitolHill #GASenateRaces #BidenWon

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

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.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

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.

.@ReverendWarnock honors his mother as he becomes first African American Senator from the South. ‘The 82-year-old hands that used to pick somebody else’s cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be a United States senator’ #BlueWave #BidenWon #GASEN

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Raphael Warnock, who is projected to win his Georgia Senate runoff race, pays tribute to his mother: "The 82-year-old hands that used to pick somebody else's cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be a U.S. Senator." https://t.co/BwYJIyYpib

[Salima Yacoubi S. @salimay]

After four years of divisive rhetoric, unifying the American people is a priority for the Democrats. Biden set the tone in November during his President-Elect acceptance speech. Tonight, Warnock reiterates the need for more social cohesion. #GASEN #BidenHarris2020 #SocialCohesion

[Salima Yacoubi S. @salimay]

Ossoff hasn’t been called yet but he’ll likely win his seat. What a night! This seals Biden’s victory and will have a direct impact on the quality of life of millions of Americans. #GASEN #stacyabrams #ossoff2021 #warnock #geogiarunoff

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Democrats have taken control of the Senate by winning 50 seats, @DecisionDeskHQ reports.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote, which means Democrats have reclaimed the majority for the first time since 2014. https://t.co/j5IO4DJrDM

[Salima Yacoubi S. @salimay]

@bendiek @SAP Congrats! :)

[Salima Yacoubi S. @salimay]

Some are confident Ossoff will get the win. There’s a lot at stake. From Environment to Economic Stimulus to Medical costs and Insurance. Warnock is in. We might know tomorrow for Ossoff. #GASEN #Georgiaelection #Senateelection #dekalb #stacyabrams
