OK everything got a lot crazier really fast.
Trump lashed out at Pence for not stopping the vote. He is not telling the protesters to leave but instructed them toĀ āsupport the Capitol police and law enforcementā.Ā Trump later told protesters toĀ āremain peacefulā despite already storming the Capitol.
Ivanka tweeted out calling the protestorsĀ āpatriotsā but then deleted this tweet and replaced it with oneĀ saying violence is not patriotic. Meanwhile Rudy Giulianiās messaging to protesters is to be peaceful and that they are onĀ āthe right side of historyā. Neither acknowledges the violence.
The Department of Defense denied a request by DC officials to deploy the National Guard. Supposedly it was because they were beholden to Trump and only acted when he decided to deploy them about an hour later.
Guns were drawn by police on the Senate floorĀ as protesters break through windows in an attempt to reach the room. One women was shotĀ in the chestĀ (GRAPHIC VIDEO). It appears she was with those trying to break into the Senate floor. Later reports state that that 5 people have been transported to the hospital, including at least member of police.
Police are makingĀ āattempts to deescalateā.

Ā Only Pence is stepping up to call for an end to the violence and for protestors to vacate the Capitol.
President elect Biden is calling the protesters a āmobā and an āinsurrectionā.
Chris Christie has been attempting without success to contact Trump and convince him to tell his supporters to leave.
