Trump Supporters Storm the
Building During 'Coup Attempt'.
Thousands of Donald Trump's supporters rioted outside of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday after being told to “peacefully” march by the president.
Supporters breached the doors of the Capitol,
forcing an evacuation of Congress during
Joe Biden's presidential certification process.
Members of Congress were
told to grab the gas masks
under their chairs before
evacuating the building.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered
a 6 p.m. curfew in response to the violence.
Trump addressed the protestors on
Twitter, telling them to “stay peaceful.”.

our Country. Stay peaceful!, Donald Trump, via Twitter
