Goopers chime in on "protestors"

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/congress-electoral-college-vote-count-2021/index.html

Here are more reactions from Congress members about the breach and unrest:

Mr. President @realDonaldTrump the men & women of law enforcement are under assault. It is crucial you help restore order by sending resources to assist the police and ask those doing this to stand down.

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) January 6, 2021


Those storming the Capitol need to stop NOW.

The Constitution protects peaceful protest, but violence—from Left or Right— is ALWAYS wrong.

And those engaged in violence are hurting the cause they say they support.

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 6, 2021


Shut up Teddie Boy. You own this.

To the protestors that have breached the Capitol building: you are disrupting the democratic process. You should be ashamed of yourself. This is violence. This is a crime. It must stop.

— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) January 6, 2021

They are as guilty as the thugs storming the capitol

They both need to be relieved of their positions and tried for conspiracy

The thinking goes back to Reagan. The violence goes back to the Tea Party.
