And Pence has issued a strongly worded tweet:

quote:

After rioters stormed the US Capitol building, Vice President Mike Pence is now calling for an end to violence and for people to respect law enforcement and leave the building.

“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,” Pence tweeted.

He continued: “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.”

Read his tweets:

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.

Capitol police taking selfies with the insurrectionists. It doesn't look like they care much.

For contrast, have a look at this photo of the capitol steps during the BLM demonstration:

Kellyanne Conway and Kevin McCarthy are speaking out against the protestors.

*Now* they come out of the woodwork.

That would be funny if it weren't so absurd.

American flag down, Trump flag up. I think this photo is going to go viral.

edit: Twitter pulled the video. Here's an overview of what was in it:

WT absolute **** was that. What a shameful piece of **** that man is. He belongs in jail. Along with Giuliani.

You mean Rudy "Lets have a trial by combat" Giualiani?

From HuffPo:

As one right-wing law enforcement informant told HuffPost, “really bad ****” happens when people who believe they’re acting as patriots defending the United States delude themselves into believing conspiracy theories about stolen elections.

“You have the president of the United States taking these people to the edge, and the second that something happens he’s going to turn around and go, ‘Well, I didn’t tell them to do that,’” Bill Fulton, a former FBI informant, told HuffPost in November. “It gives him that plausible deniability, and that’s what’s scary.”

Investigate and prosecute all acts of sedition by sitting politicians and media personalities...

GOP congressman from OK Markwayne Mullin is talking to ABC News. Said he was in a triage area and a lot of Capitol police were injured.

25th Amendment. Now.

Pence can't be worse.

I saw a report that Ilhan Omar was drawing up articles of impeachment.

25th Amendment

Section 4

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
