We reported earlier about the massive protest at the Capitol and in the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was outside whipping up the crowd. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) was also involved, expressing “solidarity” with the activists.
Some on X spoke about it being “insurrection-y.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling for the preservation of all the records, calling it an insurrection and asking how all these people were allowed into the building and through security.
First, they blocked the road in and around the Capitol complex:
Then they assembled in the rotunda and said they would occupy it until there was a ceasefire. The Capitol Police noted they were not allowed to protest in the building.
So they arrested hundreds of them for this.
The Capitol Police also announced that three had been arrested for assaulting police officers.
There was also damage the activists inflicted while they were in the building. Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) noted they ripped down a sign he had up saying, “I stand with Israel.”
They also vandalized buildings in the Capitol Complex.
So can we expect any real charges and prosecution here? Or will they have the protection of the magical “D” for being on the left?
