Vermont’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives said Wednesday he feared for his safety while watching protesters trying to break into the House chamber.
Democratic Rep. Peter Welch spoke to reporters Wednesday from what he described as a secure location after he and other members of Congress had been safely evacuated from the Capitol building in Washington.
Meanwhile, Vermont GOP Gov. Phil Scott said President Donald Trump should resign or be removed from office.
“There is no doubt that the President’s delusion, fabrication, self-interest, and ego have led us – step by step – to this very low, and very dangerous, moment in American history,” Scott, a frequent critic of Trump, said in one of a series of tweets he sent late Wednesday afternoon.
Freshman Rep. Frank Mrvan, who was sworn in to office Sunday, was in the House Chambers Wednesday when armed supporters of President Donald Trump began banging on the door.
