They busted past barricades, ripped down fencing and cursed at members of law enforcement whom they mocked as “traitors.” Police fired pepper spray at the crowd, and later deployed flash-bang devices to get them to disperse.⁠ ⁠ “I’m sheltering in place in my office,” Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) tweeted. “The building next door has been evacuated. I can’t believe I have to write this.”⁠ ⁠ “This is a coup attempt,” tweeted Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). ⁠ ⁠ The rioters roamed the halls searching for legislators, screaming, “Where the f**k are they?” The rioters also made it into the Senate chamber itself. One person stood at the dais and screamed, “Trump won that election!” ⁠ ⁠ The chaos started soon after Trump spoke to a crowd on the National Mall on Wednesday. At the end of a rambling speech, the president urged his supporters to march on the Capitol building.⁠ ⁠ For months, Trump and his strongest supporters have been fanning the flames with false claims of election fraud, convincing millions of believers that November’s presidential election was somehow stolen. Trump, in his speech, egged on his supporters and urged the crowd to march to the U.S. Capitol. ⁠ ⁠ Read live updates at our link in bio. // 📷 Getty Images」1月7日 6時02分
