A discarded flag reading Treason lays on the floor inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
On the afternoon of Jan. 6, North Coast Rep. Jared Huffman was coming out of an hours-long lockdown during which he was forced to shelter in place alone in his Capitol office, keeping away from windows with his doors locked and a go-bag at the ready. Periodic explosions pierced the constant din as Capitol Police engaged in a deadly clash with rioters in the U.S. Capitol building.
The rioters and insurrectionists had been cleared from the building and Congress was preparing to again take up its Constitutional duty of certifying the Electoral College results from the Nov. 3 election the very work President Trump, thousands of protesters and the violent mob that stormed the building had attempted to prevent them from completing and which would make President-elect Joe Biden s victory official. As he waited while Capitol police swept the building to ensure it was safe for Congress to resume its work, Huffman took to Twitter.
