Northeast Ohio lawmakers condemned rioters supporting President Donald Trump after they breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and stopped the certification of the presidential election.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called the scene an embarrassment, while local elected officials described the riot as a stain on America s history.
