Where's the pepper spray?
Where's the rubber bullets?
Where's the riot gear?
Where's the batons?
Where's the excessive use of force?

Oh wait that only happens when people peacefully protest for Black Lives.

White fascists are allowed to do whatever they want apparently…

Just evacuated my office in Cannon due to a nearby threat. Now we’re seeing protesters assaulting Capitol Police.

This is wrong. This is not who we are. I’m heartbroken for our nation today. pic.twitter.com/jC9P0YfSLQ

Every American has the right to peacefully protest, but the violence we are witnessing on U.S. Capitol grounds is unacceptable. Attacking property and the brave men and women of the @CapitolPolice must stop. I strongly condemn these acts. Our nation is better than this.
