Representative Adam Kinzinger told Fox News: “The president’s tweets have been insane … this is nothing short of an attempt to take over the government.” Lawmakers have tweeted that they are either sheltering in place or have been forced to vacate their offices due to the clashes. Staff in the Senate Press gallery informed reporters sitting at their desks that if protestors storm the Capitol building they will be ushered into the Senate chamber and the door will be locked.
