A day that should have confirmed Joe Biden's victory in the Electoral College has devolved into one of protests and riots that have reached all the way inside the U.S. Capitol Building. A splinter group of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the doors of the Capitol, some of them making their way inside the chambers of Congress. One posted pictures of himself sitting in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The protestors have sought to disrupt Congress' confirming the Presidential Election results from last November. Trump Supporters and the President himself have questioned not only the results of elections in some states but also the integrity of the election itself.
This group is challenging the results of the election, prompting President Trump to post a video on Twitter and telling these protestors to go home. These people should go home and go about their lives. The leaders of this country are chosen by voters and elections, not by crowds of people who want to force their way into a law-making body and take people hostage until they see the results they want.
Anti-Trump protestors spent the past four years protesting the election and Trump's presidency. These protests held up traffic and caused damage to public and private property. It was wrong and it is wrong to see Pro-Trump protestors trespassing on Federal property demanding a reversal to the democratic process. Some of these people have spoken in support of law enforcement. The law enforcement have been called in to restore peace. Respect these law enforcement officers.
