Trump supporters overpower police on Capitol steps, force their way into buildings, security overrun

This post was originally published on this site

Donald Trump has barely started turning the rally crowd toward the Capitol building, but the white supremacist militias weren’t bothering to attend Trump’s repetition of lies about election fraud. They just went straight to the part about rampaging and pillaging.

BREAKING: Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

The Madison LOC building is being evacuated after Trump supporters breeched security and ran past police.

Militia have not breached the actual Capitol building. After knocking down four layers of security fence, they have, for now, been forced back behind a temporary fence. This is exactly what Donald Trump promised his supporters. And exactly what he wanted.

Cannon staffers are being told to take escape hoods, and to go underground to tunnels

28/ Compared to leftist protests I’ve been at, the cops are comparatively chill. They’re not smashing people in the head, and no one’s kettling the Stop the Steal ralliers. They can just turn around and leave at any point. Except…. they’re not doing that.

View from a distance showing several of the fences Trump supporters have knocked down. Notice that some of these supporters are wearing military gear. Unclear if they are armed.

Trump is continuing to lead tens of thousands toward the building, strangely not calling for the National Guard or military to step in. The attempt to hold a coup in the courts failed. The attempt to hold a coup in Congress failed. Now they’re just having a coup.

Despite leaving the stage at his rally and promising to march up Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol, Trump has now returned to the White House by motorcade.

This is unconfirmed, but with all the madness going on at the moment, all too believable.

Hearing that there is a bomb at the Capitol Hill Club. The offices at Cannon House Office Building facing the CHC are being evacuated. Buildings immediately around it are also being evacuated and cars being moved.
