WESTFIELD, NJ State and local officials took to social media Wednesday as the nation reeled from the news that a mob loyal to President Donald Trump had stormed the Capitol building in Washington in an effort to overturn the election results.
Mayor Shelley Brindle was among the officials who took to Twitter with her thoughts on the events.
“Just heartbroken. Those traitors breaking into the capitol should be considered domestic terrorists and prosecuted as such,” Brindle said. “This is not our America.”
Wallis tells
Oh, yes! Oh my god. I mean, I think we have something very special.
it’s genre-bending. I think it’s so brave. It’s so original. I just haven’t read anything like it. And you know, again, I’m at a place in my life and my career where it’s time to be brave. It’s time to push. And I think it’s really going to be something that audiences are pretty wowed by because it’s a real passion project for him. So, I’m very excited. Yeah, let’s see! That’s what good art and good cinema is. You kind of throw it out there, and then you don’t know how people are going to react.”
NEW YORK (WABC) Both New York and New Jersey are stepping in to help with a peaceful transition of presidential power, this as local politicians continue to condemn President Donald Trump and prominent Republicans amid accusations of inciting violence in the riot at the Capitol on Wednesday. What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president, Schumer said. This president should not hold office one day longer. The quickest and most effective way - it can be done today - to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment. If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president.
