Washington, D.C. - On Wednesday, a few thousand White nationalists and MAGAs (Make America Great Again/Keep America Great) Trump supporters attempted insurrection by breaching the U.S. Capitol building while Congress was undergoing an Electoral College certified vote count.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that a 6:00p.m. curfew has been established and a police perimeter around the U.S. Capitol building will be setup.
A Trump MAGA woman supporter was reported fatally shot by Capitol police as she allegedly attempted to attack police and those inside the building during the failed attempted siege and riot by the MAGAs.
The female MAGA killed in the Capitol building on Wednesday was identified as Ashli Babbitt, 35, an Air Force vet from California who tweeted a day earlier how “nothing will stop us” and “the storm is here.”
Babbitt, who had 14 years in the service and did four tours of duty, was married and lived near San Diego, her husband Aaron told KUSI-TV, according the the New York Post.
Three other Trump MAGAs that died from medical emergencies during Wednesday's violence, vandalism, looting and rioting in the attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building were identified as
Benjamin Phillips, 50 of Ringtown, Pennsylvania; Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama and Roseanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, the District of Colombia police reported.
Capitol Police also reported in an update that Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died on Thursday from critical injuries sustained when MAGAs breached the U.S. Capitol building and attacked officers with metal pipes and chemical irritants.
At least, 50 Capitol police officers and D.C. officers were reported injured.
Feds and police have filed more than 55 criminal cases in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building.
U.S.President-elect Joe Biden (D) called the MAGAs attempted insurrection and stated, "Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now."
President Trump later released a video and lied that the election was stolen and told his MAGA supporters to leave the Capitol building and go home.
Multiple Capitol police officers were reported injured.
The MAGAs should now be considered a domestic terrorist group who attempted insurrection of the U.S. government.
Trump had encouraged his MAGA cult to head to the Capitol building after addressing the crowd of MAGA followers for nearly several hours and lying about election fraud.
On thing for sure, Joe Biden will be sworn-in as the next U.S. President on January 20, 2021 including Kamala Harris as the next U.S. Vice-president.
Update: Facebook bans Trump from posting for at least two weeks including Instagram for inciting violence on Wednesday that resulted in 4 deaths at the U.S. Capitol building.
Also, Twitter temporarily restricted Trump from tweeting for at least 12 hours for violating its rules.
Trump’s daughter Kimberly Trump posted the following lie on Parlor for damage control.
