As Congress met to count the Electoral College votes and confirm President-elect Joe Biden as the nation’s next leader on Wednesday, Trump supporters protesting the election results stormed the Capitol building, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to be ushered out of the Senate chamber.

Hundreds of Trump supporters pushed through metal barricades at the back of the Capitol building about 1 p.m. Wednesday, the Washington Post reported, running past security guards and breaking fences while chanting “USA! USA!”

Stunning footage of protesters fighting with federal police officers soon began flooding Twitter, leading queries such as “Where is the National Guard” to begin trending, along with reports that staffers were temporarily evacuated from two buildings on Capitol Hill. Footage showed tear gas fired in inside the Capitol building, as well.

These were followed by images of protesters inside the Capitol building, and outside the Senate chamber. The debate between Senators was stopped mid-speech, and both the Senate and the House went into recess.

In an unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol, protesters supporting President Donald Trump rushed the stairs of the building and smashed windows as they pushed their way inside.

In a massive security breach, the protesters, waving blue Trump flags, breached the Senate chamber, making their way inside as senators were rushed from the room by U.S. Capitol Police.

They were heard banging on the doors of the House chamber and yelling outside as police officers rushed lawmakers out of the chamber and to safety.

There were reports of gun shots outside of the House as an armed stand off took place at the doors of the chamber.

'We've been given gas masks on the House floor. Tear gas has been used in the Rotunda,' wrote Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly on twitter.

Vice President Mike Pence, presiding in the Senate, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, presiding in the House, were removed from their respective chambers at the first hint of the breach for their own safety.

The protesters filled the rotunda, which sets below the dome of the Capitol and is filled with paintings depicting important scenes in the founding of the nation. They also were seen marching through Statuary Hall, the room off the House chamber that is filled with statues of the nation's founders and used for special ceremonies.

In the crypt of the Capitol, where George Washington was originally supposed to be buried, police and protesters clashed, fighting it out.

'We now have individuals that have breached the Capitol building. They are in the Rotunda area,' Capitol police said.

Trump urged his supporters to stay peaceful, in a tweet that came after they had breached the building. At a rally earlier that morning, he had encouraged them to march on the Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying the electoral college vote for Joe Biden.

'Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!,' the president wrote.

But he did not tell them to leave.

U.S. Capitol Police used tear gas as hundreds of people were seen climbing the marble steps outside the building. They banged on the locked doors of the Capitol and smashed the glass in the doors.

Wafuasi wa raisi Donald Trump aliyeshindwa wamevamia jengo la White Capitol huku maseneta wakiwa ndani kupiga kura ya kumthibisha Joe Biden wa chama cha Democrat kuwa mshindi.

Wakati huo huo raisi Trump kupitia ujumbe wa Twitter amewataka wafuasi wake waliokwishak kujichimbia ndani ya ikulu kubaki humo lakini bila fujo wakisubiri kinachofuatia.

Wakati vikao vya Bunge vinavyomthibitisha bwn. Biden kuwa Rais wa Marekani wafuasi wa Trump wavamia Bunge na Ikulu ya Marekani.

Namuona Trump akienda kushitakiwa baada ya kutoka madarakani

Tofauti ya Marekani na nchi za kiafrika ni uchumi na hali ya kimaisha, ila kisiasa ajili ni moja tu.

Acha kufananisha kila kitu cha U. S. A. na hawa wanaoua wanaowakosoa.
Rest easy Ben Saanane na Azory Gwanda

Sio kweli. Hata kisiasa bado wapo vizuri sana licha ya kinachoendelea kutokana na makosa ya kumpa nchi mpuuzi mmoja asiyejua thamani na hadhi ya Marekani duniani. Ingekuwa Afrika, DT angeendelea kuwa Rais wa Marekani, lakini kwa Marekani no way.

Huyu jamaa ndio maana alikatisha likizo yake kule MarLlago akiwa na nia ya kufanya fujo za uchaguzi.Sijui ana nini asiyekubali kushindwa.

Kwa hiyo wadau, mnaniaminisha trump ndo aliwaandaa hao watu kuandamana.

Kwa yanayoendelea Marekani ni wazi CORONA sio tishio kama wanavyojaribu kuiaminisha dunia.

Kwa yanayoendelea Marekani ni wazi Demokrasia ni ngumu sio kwetu tuu Waafrika bali hata kwao wazungu.

Maendeleo hayana chama. Ipende nchi yako.

Hahaha Sawa Mkuu ,Leo naona FUPI Sana!!
