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 Kentucky election results Ralph Davis Nov 11, 2020 PRESIDENT ✅ Donald Trump, 1,315,454 (62.61 percent)Joe Biden, 750,597 (35.72 percent)Jo Jorgenson,… KSP looks for three-peat in cruiser contest Ralph Davis Jul 17, 2023 Kentucky State Police's entry into the 2023 best-looking cruiser contest pays tribute to the agency's… Flood watches, warnings now over Ralph Davis Dec 21, 2022 For the first time in nearly a week, the National Weather Service has no flood watches or warnings in… Pike man convicted of sodomy Ralph Davis Apr 18, 2022 PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- A Pike County man convicted of sexual abuse 13 years ago has now been convicted of… Man to plead guilty in SW Va. fentanyl conspiracy Ralph Davis Nov 6, 2023 Roberto Contreras BIG STONE GAP, Va. -- A defendant in a scheme to distribute more than 25 lbs. of… Booher leaving to become Mercer superintendent Ralph Davis Jun 3, 2021 Jason Booher PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- Pikeville High School is looking for a new principal, after current… Man arrested for drug trafficking after DUI arrest on ATV Ralph Davis Apr 9, 2021 Joseph Dewayne Hopkins ROBINSON CREEK, Ky. -- A Pike County man pulled over for a suspected DUI while… Four arrested for dealing meth, heroin Ralph Davis Mar 15, 2024 Jeremy Boyd, James Huff, Shawna Huff and Pamela Hall BETSY LAYNE, Ky. -- A traffic stop on U.S. 23… Appeals court overturns meth sentence Ralph Davis Sep 1, 2020 Dwight Gibson WHITESBURG, Ky. -- The Kentucky Court of Appeals has overturned the sentence for a Letcher…
