Kentucky’s political leaders on Wednesday afternoon condemned actions by supporters of President Trump who stormed the U.S. Capitol as the House and Senate was in the process of certifying the Electoral College vote.
Western Kentucky Congressman James Comer issued a statement just before 4 p.m. saying, “At this time, my staff and I are safe and I am in an undisclosed location after evacuating the House floor when protestors made their way inside the Capitol. The outrageous rioting and violence taking place at the Capitol Building is completely unacceptable and not who we are as a nation of law and order. Mob violence is wrong regardless of political affiliation.”
A chaotic protest aimed at thwarting a peaceful transfer of power forced lawmakers from the building and interrupted challenges to Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. Here's how it progressed through the day.
