The level of while privilege it takes to aggressively and violently flood inside the Capitol Building without fear of punishment, injury or death is astonishing. This is not a protest. This is domestic terrorism in action to stop and delay the democratic process.
Scores of Trump supporters breached the Capitol building and neared the Senate floor on Wednesday afternoon as thousands cheered and clashed with police in front of the building.
