Officials respond to Capitol violence Ralph Davis Article Updated: January 8, 2021 Comments Off on Officials respond to Capitol violence Share on FacebookTweet this! pic.twitter.com/Pm2PKV0Fp3— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021 I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021 Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 6, 2021 Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.— Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) January 6, 2021 A statement from Gov. Beshear on the events unfolding at the United States Capitol: pic.twitter.com/C4mDMluauu— Governor Andy Beshear (@GovAndyBeshear) January 6, 2021 Violence and mob rule is wrong and un-American, and it will not bring about election reform. Today’s mayhem sets back any intelligent debate for a generation. Just stop it.— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 6, 2021 We are okay & ready to get back to the Senate chamber to finish our work. These thugs cannot and will not run us off. We will continue to govern.— Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) January 6, 2021 This is the United States of America. This needs to stop right now. We don’t do this. It’s not who we are.— Shelley Moore Capito (@SenCapito) January 6, 2021 Thanks for your concern — I am safe and sheltering in place with other senators. Please join me in praying for our country, and for our fellow Americans to do the right thing.— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) January 6, 2021 My staff and I are safe right now—following the instructions of Capitol Police and praying for the safety of Capitol workers, members of the press, and all here in Washington today. This violence must end now.— Tim Kaine (@timkaine) January 6, 2021 I adamantly denounce the violence taking place in Washington, and threatening the lives of innocent individuals. We must maintain law and order in this country. (2/2)— Hal Rogers (@RepHalRogers) January 6, 2021 My statement on the violence at the U.S. Capitol today. pic.twitter.com/RhUKdk7x8c— Rep. Andy Barr (@RepAndyBarr) January 6, 2021 I’m safe.— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) January 6, 2021 My staff and I are safe and following the U.S. Capitol Police’s evacuation orders as large groups of Trump supporters are attempting to storm the Capitol and House buildings. This is not who we are as Americans.— Rep. John Yarmuth (@RepJohnYarmuth) January 6, 2021 The Capitol is the place where Americans debate issues peacefully and according to our rules and Constitution. It should not be subject to break-ins and violence. Its occupiers must leave and face justice, and the business of the people must continue.— Morgan Griffith (@RepMGriffith) January 6, 2021 I'm safe. We've been equipped with escape hoods and we're being moved through the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/8YRX9Z3UTo— Rep. Alex Mooney (@RepAlexMooney) January 6, 2021 I am safe. We are praying for the Capitol Police and thank them for keeping us safe.— Carol Miller (@RepCarolMiller) January 6, 2021 The reason we have elections is so we don't have what we see today – madness and mob rule. I pray for the safety of all members of Congress, staff and Capitol Police.— KY SOS Michael Adams (@KYSecState) January 6, 2021 What is happening on Capitol Hill today is despicable, and I condemn it.We are a country founded on the rule of law. Concerns and grievances are addressed through the political process and through peaceful protests, not violence and anarchy. This must stop.— Attorney General Daniel Cameron (@kyoag) January 6, 2021 The individuals engaged in this criminal behavior are dangerous and destructive and should be held fully accountable. We want to thank the brave men and women of law enforcement who are protecting our leaders and pray for a quick and peaceful end to this situation.” 2/2— Republican Party of Kentucky (@KYGOP) January 6, 2021 More Articles By the same author Gunman kills 4, injures 10 at Louisville bank Ralph Davis Mar 15, 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPu1k_CEn80 11 a.m. press conference LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A gunman was… Lexington man charged in connection with Perry County overdoses Ralph Davis Mar 30, 2021 Eli Ruffin LONDON, Ky. — A Lexington man has been identified as one of the people charged in a previously… Wise County woman pleads guilty to manslaughter in DUI crash Ralph Davis Jul 9, 2021 Laya Maude Belcher WISE, Va. -- A southwestern Virginia woman faces up to 21 years in prison, after… Trial date set for two defendants in Wesley Hook murder case Ralph Davis Mar 5, 2021 Enos Little, Krystle Williams and Eric DeLeon PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A trial date has been set for… Two prison guards sentenced in prisoner assault case Ralph Davis Nov 13, 2023 Samuel Patrick and Clinton Pauley PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- Two former guards at the federal prison in Martin… One killed in U.S. 23 crash Ralph Davis Apr 18, 2022 UPDATE, 3 p.m. -- Police have now released details of the crash that killed a Prestonsburg man this… Mingo woman sentenced for stealing military death benefits Ralph Davis Oct 10, 2023 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Mingo County woman has been sentenced for stealing military death benefits.… One killed, three hurt in Logan crash Ralph Davis Feb 6, 2023 LOGAN, W.Va. -- One person is dead and three others are injured following a head-on crash in Logan County.… Pike man charged with burglary, stalking Ralph Davis Dec 21, 2022 Naixin Li PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- A Pike County man faces burglary and stalking charges, after an incident…
