SAN ANTONIO ā Texas lawmakers are having to shelter in place at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday as some Pro-Trump protestors invaded the Capitol building.
Several lawmakers turned to social media to condemn the actions and to update people on their status.
I am currently safe, but the Capitol has been breached and some colleagues are trapped there. President Trump has set loose violence on our Congress.
This isnāt a peaceful protest. This is an attack on our democracy and domestic terrorism to try to stop certifying elections. This should be treated as a coup led by a president that will not be peacefully removed from power.
