Armed rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday, just as the House of Representatives and Senate were set to certify the Electoral College.
Here’s what your representatives are saying.
I was evacuated from the House floor and am currently safe.

If you refused to condemn the violent looting across America this summer then I’m not interested in hearing from you today.

No matter your position on any issue or election, this violence is disgraceful and we should all condemn it.

PATHETIC!
I have officially OBJECTED to the certification of the Electoral College.

I did this for the sanctity of our elections.
I did this for my constituents in Texas.
I did this for the future of America.
And I will CONTINUE to fight for our great President @realDonaldTrump!
This is not protest, this is rejection of democracy. Transfers of power have always been the highest moments of our democracy, this may be the lowest. https://t.co/xBo6nCdECq

Those storming the Capitol need to stop NOW.

The Constitution protects peaceful protest, but violence—from Left or Right— is ALWAYS wrong.
And those engaged in violence are hurting the cause they say they support.
Stop stoking division.

Stop spreading hatred.
Stop using malicious rhetoric (such as false & reckless charges of “sedition”).
Stop showing contempt for the half of the country that disagrees with you.
Violence is wrong. We can do better. We are one Nation. #EPluribusUnum https://t.co/Kikh4dW46u
