CHAOS IN WASHINGTON: Senate session interrupted, Trump attacks Pence “Who did not have the courage”

The huge Pro Trump demonstration showed notable popular support for the president, but also showed the limits of over-shouting politics. Of course, if the demonstration had coincided with the victory, even partial, in Georgia things could have gone differently. Unfortunately for Trump, things did not go as expected, so the Senate has changed color. So the huge procession looked very out of place.

A group of protesters, whose color is not very clear, even managed to enter the Senate. However, it must be remembered that the Capitol is not an impregnable fortress, but a public building, normally open, because it also contains the Library of Congress. The fact that a group of demonstrators managed to enter and that the President of the Senate, and Vice President, Mike Pence left the building is not so strange, also because there was, at the same time, a bomb alarm is only the consequence. of a day that started really badly.

That these "Trump followers" who occupied the Senate are really strange.

One appears to have a hammer and sickle.

Trump urged everyone to demonstrate in peace and go home. The public order situation had become too heated. However, this was not the main event of the day, from a political point of view. There was the Trump – Pence fight

Trump asked Pence NOT to approve the results of the delegates' votes, not recognizing the states subject to fraud, but Pence refused, saying he could not. Trump didn't take it well:

Trump makes a serious accusation: Pence did not have the courage to protect the Constitution and the country, allowing state assemblies to check votes and certify reality, and not to accept the current fraudulent result. A very thoughtful accusation that seems a disavowal of the vice president. The fallout in the Republicans will be very heavy.
