These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

The National Association of Manufacturers Ask Pence to Invoke 25th Amendment

The National Association of Manufacturers issued a statement:

“The outgoing president incited violence in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader defending him is violating their oath to the Constitution and rejecting democracy in favor of anarchy. Anyone indulging conspiracy theories to raise campaign dollars is complicit. Vice President Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to preserve democracy.”

Protests Disperse After Clashes Outside California State Capitol

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Police say there have reports of clashes between demonstrators at the state capitol in Sacramento on Wednesday. They are working to keep the opposing groups separated.

Sacramento is one of the many cities across the country where Trump supporters are protesting the presidential election vote count.

Protesters carrying flags and signs gathered at the capitol Wednesday morning to hear a live broadcast of President Trump from Washington, D.C. Many people were chanting “stop the steal” and asked people to sign the petitions to recall Governor Gavin Newsom.

There’s a heavy police presence at the state capitol building, say Sacramento police. They’ve reportedly arrested people for carrying pepper spray.

Some roads in the area have been closed due to the protest.
