I am shocked and horrified that it is taking so long to clear those who have breached the Capitol. There is more police efficiency and aggression in a run of the mill BLM protest. Edit: for example: https://twitter.com/RedR1dngHood/status/1346908557560537091
Protests? This is treason and a coup. Trump most be held responsible for this. The police aren't even wearing riot gear while shots and teargas are being fired into the capitol.
(which to be clear is awful, these coup-attempting "protesters" are treasonous idiots, but i haven't yet heard of them shooting)
This is a failure of leadership by the republicans - plain and simple. I don't care if this comment is perceived as partisan, it's a statement of fact. If the republican leadership had unequivocally come out against the narrative that the election was stolen, this wouldn't be happening.

History in the making right here. This[1] might be an early contender for image of the year [1] https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1346906369232920576/pho...

It looks like Defense Dept. denied DC's request for National Guard.
Update: DoD denies the report, but says they haven't acted upon request.
