What Happened at the Capitol

From The Epoch Times:

Empty streets and a subdued atmosphere characterized Washington on Jan. 7 as Trump supporters processed the events of the previous day and the certification of the Electoral College votes by Congress overnight. Many were packing up to go home, at the same time a fence was being erected around the Capitol; the National Guard presence was obvious.

Marine veteran Tony Good traveled from Florida and walked to the Ellipse to hear President Donald Trump speak in the morning. He said Trump didn’t incite violence in his speech.

“No, absolutely not. There’s a line between inciting to riot and standing on convictions,” Good told The Epoch Times. “He wasn’t telling anybody to riot, he was just telling them it’s our right to protest. That’s a right we have in America.” Good became separated from his group and returned to his hotel to regroup after the speech. He didn’t go to the Capitol, but said he wishes he had.

“I call yesterday the first day in the 10-year war,” he said. “It’s going to be 10 years before this gets turned around. It’s going to take that long. War in the sense of … getting things to where they should be in America, as far as fair and free elections, election integrity. (Read more.)

 

From Townhall:

Footage from Wednesday's infamous pro-Trump rally, which turned into a riot, shows that not every Trump supporter was on board with the decision to trespass into the Capitol and ransack congressional offices.

"No Antifa, no Antifa," a woman is heard shouting as protesters break their way into the Capitol. Another Trump supporter can be seen attempting to physically restrain an individual damaging the doorway leading into the building. 

"Don't break that window," a person yells. 

A Twitter user who says she attended the rally captured the footage, claiming it was members of Antifa who started breaking windows. (Read more.)

 

From The Gateway Pundit:

Trump Supporters at the Capitol yesterday’s event in Washington DC told people to stop damaging property. For some reason Big Media doesn’t want to report this. Yesterday after the President spoke in Washington, the million or so followers of the President marched to the Capitol. This is when some individuals in the crowd started damaging the Capitol building. When this occurred, the Trump supporters in the crowd starting yelling at them and telling them to stop.

We 75 million Deplorables are keeping tabs of those Republican leaders in Congress, the Senate AND Governors, who betrayed our President. The Republican Governor of my State of Maryland will not receive my vote when he runs again. (The problem for them is, they are not going to get a Democrats vote either.)
The good our President did for this Country over the past 4 years has been swept away by fraud, lies, deceit and betrayal. Everyone will suffer because of it except the big money barons who funded the various media outlets who incited people against President Trump. But I believe 'what goes around comes around'.

Julygirl, the Republicans who betrayed president Trump are weak and desperate to appease the left mob. They have no idea the radical left will come after them it is only a matter of time.
