According to video from TheBlaze reporter Elijah Schaffer and other reports, supporters of the Stop the Steal Rally have stormed Capitol Hill security barriers in an apparent attempt to occupy the building ahead of this afternoon’s certification decision.
The shocking development comes after President Trump told rally members he’d march with them to the Capitol to protest the Electoral College count. Trump reiterated that he’d never concede the election and his eldest son vowed to primary any Republican who didn’t back the president’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
