MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Less than a week into the new year, 2021 is already making the history books after rioters breached the nationâs Capitol Wednesday afternoon. It happened while Congress was in the process of certifying the results of Novemberâs presidential election.
What was supposed to be a typical Electoral College count for Congress turned into a day of havoc after numerous people unlawfully enter the Capitol grounds. Some damaged property, forcing the Senate and House of Representatives to evacuate.
