It’s getting crazy out there at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
The members of Congress who were debating the objection over the Arizona electoral count were interrupted by the protesters who were trying to breach the capitol building. They were rushed out of the chamber to safety.
Alleged Trump supporters stormed the building, as Bonchie wrote about earlier and pushed past the police into the building.

They then got into the Senate chamber and into the offices of members of Congress including Nancy Pelosi.

Several people got on to a scaffolding outside Senate, took it to second floor, which looked like the area where McConnell’s office is located, and started banging on windows pic.twitter.com/IIZ21nkzFT

One very disturbing picture was this one from the House chamber.

As Bonchie wrote, one woman was already shot by the Capitol Police trying to breach the doors.
At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.
We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.

I don’t think they’re all Trump supporters, some give up a decidedly not Trump supporter/leftist feel.
Look closely at this picture. Do Trump supporters often have communist hammer and sickles tattooed on their hands? https://t.co/sRVxWFrCCe

We who have watched Antifa for a long time know the difference. But there are some more extreme known Trump supporters there.
It’s getting crazy out there.
