MUST SEE: Pro-Trump Protesters Breach US Capitol, Delaying Electoral Certification

The powder keg that we all feared has erupted.

On Wednesday, just as Senator Ted Cruz was being applauded by many of his fellow Republicans for his objection to the certification of the votes from the State of Arizona, pro-Trump protesters stormed the US Capitol and breached the Congressional chambers .

The scene was heavily documented on social media, and the imagery was simply astounding.

Democratic lawmakers said Capitol Police had instructed them to take cover on the floor and prepare to use gas masks after tear gas was dispersed in the rotunda of the Capitol.

“This is insane,” tweeted Representative Dean Phillips, Democrat of Minnesota.https://t.co/M4e6vwIOMJ pic.twitter.com/AUBaXrAeHk
