Unnerving
And remarkable scenes of chaos on the doorstep of the home of American democracy
Angry supporters of the president
Advancing on the capital tension escalated quickly
Security had closed off this area of the Capitol But after those protesters push their way through a gate
They made their way up here to this temp
And even climb some of the bleacher setup for an organisation
Prompting a heavy response from police officers trying to push backfiring pepperball
What's the agitated crowd Trump supporters
Only group Boulder
And police
Lost control
They forced their way into the building
Outnumbering the officers inside Stacy's this sacred
Space
Leading to unimaginable scenes and bun
One woman was shot and killed and several police officers were hurt
It took the president more than 2 hours to tweet his first call for call considered as
Slow response since these people listen to him
And genuinely believed his false claims the election was stolen
We want Trump
Distressed
We shouldn't be here at this
Having this kind of discussion in this country
A claim he knows infuriates his base
A claim he repeated at a rally this morning
We will never give up we will never concede this will be remembered as a brutal
Real date for American democracy
Making the transition of power
All the more difficult
The incoming president
So Katie that was today I can you give us a sense of what it's like where you are tonight
Quite late
Things have calmed down quite significantly Adrian let's show you there's just a few members of the National Guard that we can see
Data between us and Capitol Hill
Which is actually somewhat surprising given the violence and given what happened
Here on these grounds today
Whatever think I should mention the mayor of Washington DC just held a news conference and she announced they'll be an emerging
The order here in the city
Until January 21st the day after inauguration
Given what happened with this protest and given the scene that unfolded they don't want a repeat of that so essentially this order
We'll give them more access to resources for police
Alright Katie Sims
Is it in Washington
And all that happened was something very important to the Democratic process
What's going on in
Inside the Capitol building
The Electoral College
Notes from the presidential
Tabulated
Sealed
Tickets from each state
Captain D's ceremonial boxes
When people fled the senate floor
Quick-thinking
Stop grab the
And kept them safe
Now let's head next
This is enormous.
Susan
Extraordinary
Day for Americans no matter where they were
But a scary one for those who were in
Inside that building
When it was storm
Yeah Andrew many Americans are reeling tonight watching those images saying they can't believe this is there
Are country but the seeds for this were sown over a month ago by a President Who Won't Give Up
A stunning image
Defending the inner sanctum of the US Capitol with guns
Drawn
Intruders at the window
Lawmakers dunking for safety
Just after to their Chambers surrounded by an angry mob
We've been instructed
Add to each of us get gas mask
That are under our seats
The most Brazen of those protesters
Savoring the moment
In the chair on the house floor
Inside Nancy Pelosi
Office
One leaving a note
We will not back down
This day was meant to formally certify election results a routing protocol
With Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell urging lawmakers to move ahead
The voters
Courts
States
Hello spoke
Pit Boss smoker
If we overrule them
It would damage our Republic
Forever
Instead the certification vote was aborted by violence
And protest in the name of trump
And under his urging that the election was
Stolen
Biden stopped just shy of saying Trump incited
It's chaos
Borders on sedition
And it must end
Now
He called on Trump to step up
What you did
With admiration
For the protest
We love you
You're very special
You've seen what happens you see the way others are treated that are
So bad and so evil
I know how you feel
But go home and go home and peace
But damage
Done DC is under curfew
Police are bracing for more riots overnight
Today's events
Did not happen spontaneous
The presidential promoted conspiracy theories that motivated these thugs
The presidential exhorted them to come to our nation
Capital
Egg them on
Legislators did go back to work tonight to try to finish what they started
To officially make Joe Biden
President
Among the many questions tonight is why those protesters were able to overrun police on Capital
So he'll why the security wasn't more robust and how this actually all happened it's not as if the March was
Wasn't surprised Noritz motivation unclear and the resistance that we see today in washing
Canton is not going to fade away I mean many will be unfazed thinking that this is just dessert
Desserts for the stolen election that President Trump keeps promoting its
Only two weeks till the inauguration the capital here in DC will be very tense and talk tonight the f
FBI discovered and dismantled to homemade explosives placed near both the
Cratic and Republican National headquarters
So Susan what have we heard from
You know more recently from
President
Well not that recently at all his last week was about
6 saying that the supporters need to remember this day for every called
The elections fraudulent again and then Twitter blocked him out of his own account for the next 10
12 hours and Instagram for 24 hours and warned that
The suspension may be more permanent
