Mike Pence a tweeté:
- The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now. Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building.
- Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Le vice-président américain, Mike Pence, appelle donc sur Twitter à l’arrêt « immédiat » de « la violence et de la destruction » à l’intérieur du Capitole. Il demande aux manifestants de quitter le bâtiment.
