Florida GOP Congressman Brian Mast reacts on Fox & Friends condemning the attack on the Capitol Wednesday as unpatriotic and disgraceful.
A growing number of congressional Democrats are calling for President Trump to be impeached after a group of his supporters stormed the United States Capitol building on Wednesday, accusing the president of inciting the violence and warning of the damage he could inflict before his term ends in two weeks.
By Thursday afternoon, Senate Minorty Leader Chuck Schumer urged Vice President Mike Pence to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office, while warning that if he refuses, Congress should impeach the president.
It s hard to see how the Trump political force is what it is the day before yesterday, Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier says.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., announced Wednesday night the chamber would be out of session for more than a week until after the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 20.
Hoyer s declaration comes after a day of turmoil at the U.S. Capitol, where thousands of Trump supporters descended on Washington, D.C., to protest the congressional vote to certify the Electoral College tally of the presidential election.
Rioters shattered glass windows and stormed into the Capitol building, waving Trump flags, forcing their way onto the floor of the House, ransacking offices, and ultimately causing entire portions of Capitol Hill to be on lockdown and the formal congressional tally to be delayed for more than six hours.

At least four people are dead after supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, forcing Congress to evacuate as lawmakers counted electoral votes to certify President-elect Joe Biden s victory in the November election. The chaos erupted shortly after Mr. Trump gave a speech once again falsely claiming to have won a second term and vowing we will never concede.
One woman was shot and killed by police after breaching the Capitol and attempting to enter the House chamber. Three others died as a result of medical emergencies, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Hogan Extends National Guard’s D.C. Mission to Ensure Peaceful Transition
Gov. Larry Hogan said Thursday that the Maryland National Guard will remain in Washington through President-elect Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration and the end of the month, after the force was deployed to the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday afternoon amid an insurrection.
“The state of Maryland will do anything and everything we possibly can to continue to secure the core of our nation’s capital and to ensure a peaceful transition of power,” the governor said in a news conference.
Hogan, a Republican, said he received a call Wednesday from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Mechanicsville who was bunkered down in an undisclosed location with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pleading to send backup for the overwhelmed Capitol Police.
