It has to be stopped.
The new majority must pass laws to protect our legislators and legislation and the will of the American people.
They must pass these laws immediately.
Storming was used to steal the election in 2000 for George Bush. It was used more in 2020 with the over taking of the Michigan capital and the attempt led by Matt Gaetz to compromise the SCIF during meetings on impeachment. Now its being used to threaten the national legislature as of yesterday and there are threats to interfere with the inauguration and other state and local political activities and locations.
It should and must become a forbidden practice with severe unpardonable consequences.

The US congress did nothing when some state houses were stormed.
One governor was the victim of a kidnapping and execution plot.
I am hoping now with a Dem Congress we can get something done
about this.
Yes the storming of the vote counting in Florida 2000 was quite successful.
I think that is what Cruz and Hawley were hoping for this time as well.
They badly miscalculated.
