Our latest on how today's electoral count turned into chaos.
As Congress met to certify the election results, Trump held a simultaneous rally. Watch these moments unfold side by side to see how his speech incited a mob that broke into the Capitol.

I got to wear my writer hat and my therapist hat recently and it was neat. #HAES #DietCultureSucks proactive-therapy.com/blog/m…
So sad to see this. Our little one ate her very first pancakes here. Great little diner and such a loss for our neighborhood.

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.

Chris Wallace asked President Trump during Tuesday's debate whether he was willing "to condemn white supremacists and militia groups."
"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by," he replied. "This is not a right-wing problem. This is left wing.”

Kellyanne Conway DID say more violence was good for Trump’s prospects; she said on Fox that “the more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better news for the very clear choice on who's best on public safety and law and order." video.foxnews.com/v/61850253…

"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, I’ll tell you what. Somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left. Because this is not a right-wing problem. This is a left-wing problem"

There's a segment of Americans who have an ability to compartmentalize their affinity for black athletes as a source of entertainment, yet remain apathetic & indifferent to their plight, & find them otherwise useless. If reading this offended you, you're probably in that segment.

Another example of police being tasked with jobs they're not equipped to do. People with experience dealing with mental health and autism should be funded and accessible for these situations.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's #RNC2020 speech supporting President Trump’s reelection, recorded in Jerusalem, was condemned by Democrats as a breach of decades of diplomatic precedent and possible violation of federal law. apne.ws/qnlBFsh

Pompeo's remarks here are unprecedented in modern U.S. politics.
Even Hillary Clinton did not speak to the Democratic Convention in 2012 when she was Sec. of State.
Also a question of doing this on taxpayer-funded trip.

The RNC showed a naturalization ceremony for five new citizens.
The moment aimed to show Trump looking presidential — and is likely to incense critics over his refusal to draw a hard line between official White House business and running for reelection. trib.al/SllXU3Y

From watching the #RNC2020, you would think that socialism, cancel culture and peaceful protesters were a bigger threat to the country than a pandemic that has killed more than 170,000 Americans.
