Wednesday was a day many in Washington, D.C. will never forget when a protest at the U.S. Capitol turned to chaos, leaving four people dead.
âNever in my lifetime did I think I would see this sort of lawlessness, storming the steps of the Capitol building, somebody sitting in the speaker s chair,â said Democratic Party of McLennan County Chair Mary Duty.
Some protesters were peaceful, but then rioters carrying pro-Trump flags broke into the Capitol building, shattering windows and doors, vandalizing what they could while lawmakers rushed to safety.
