Local political leaders react to Capitol attack
ELLSWORTH The violent events of Jan. 6, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, scaling walls, breaking windows and looting, have been widely condemned by local political leaders.
“I was scared, I was shocked, it was just very upsetting,” said state Sen. Kimberley Rosen (R-Hancock County) of the attack on the Capitol building as lawmakers met to certify the 2020 Electoral College results.
“I was hoping that President Trump would leave peacefully, and I was not a supporter of overturning the election,” she said.
Prior to the attack, Trump held a nearby rally urging supporters to march to the Capitol Building. He told the crowd they should “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” but also said supporters “have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

All people of good conscience who call this country home, or whoâve come here in search of the fruits of its liberties, were surely shocked by yesterdayâs events in Washington, D.C.
For the first time in modern history, a lawless mob attacked our nationâs Capitol building to thwart our representatives from confirming a lawful election to peacefully transfer the U.S. presidency from one citizen to another, as our Constitution requires. Equally horrific was the sight of a flag of a racist past waved in the present, carried by the mob through our halls of government.
