The riot on the US Capitol was preceded by a rally in support of President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
That rally was attended by Republican lawmakers at the state and federal levels.
Emboldened by Trump's urges and pleas to protest the results with him, rioters who attended the rally organized an
attempted coup. They stormed the Capitol building as lawmakers were meeting inside to certify the election results.
Days after the event, investigations remain ongoing and lawmakers at-large have been standing against the acts of violence demonstrated by the rioters.
Five people, including one
police officer, died. Members of
the Proud Boys, which is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were reportedly present.
Upon news that the riot breached the Capitol building, lawmakers began to shelter in place and many evacuated. One quick-thinking Senate aide
secured the boxes containing the electoral votes, rescuing them from possible damage.
The vote to
certify President-elect Joe Biden went on as planned hours after the riot began. And a day later, Trump said there would be "
an orderly transition" on January 20, Inauguration Day.
The riot spurred calls to once again impeach Trump, this time on a charge for "incitement of an insurrection." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell circulated a memo to Republicans saying Trump cannot logistically be removed from office before Inauguration Day.
Trump, however, is not the only Republican facing a swift backlash. Republican lawmakers, who were present at either the rally or riot, are being accused by their own colleagues of having "
galvanized domestic terrorists."
Here are the Republican lawmakers across state and federal levels who were present at Trump's rally that led to the Capitol siege.
the biden/harris radicals never quit with controlling ideas to destroy any dissent to their marxist revolution in america.
they liberal rag demands the immediate resignation of any Republican lawmaker who attended the rally - whether or not they were at all involved in the vilence.
The violence was illegal - and perpetrators should be charged and tried ( but not in a DPST Star chamber ) - in a Fair jury trial in an open court of law.
That the DPST's fomented, and created months of Violence in Seattle, minneapolis, LA, portland oregon, and other DPST ruled cities and states - matters not - the Hypocrisy is typical Liberal marxist, DPST actions to control and destroy anyone not of their own marxist narrative.
Typical liberal Hypocrisy - and it is 'teh' death of true representative democracy in America - and the DPST partiy with their DNC/CCP led and owned LSM - are taking us to A United Socialist States of Amerika - a country ruled by fascist marxists - as maduro rules Venezuela to the destruction of the country and oppression of the people.
