On Wednesday, the U.S. and the rest of the world watched in disgust and shock as supporters of President Donald Trump breached the Capitol building in protest over Congress meeting to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The members of the pro-Trump mob, some wearing full riot gear, broke into offices in the Capitol building and forced congresspeople to hide under their desks in terror as police drew guns at rioters who got inside. Several lawmakers, including Vice President Mike Pence, were evacuated from the building.

 

Like many people closely watching the news unfold around the country, many members of the entertainment industry have taken to social media to react to the violent riots, including celebrities James Gunn, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Josh Gad, Dylan O'Brien, Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin, and Pink.

Singer Pink stated that she is embarrassed looking at the state of things. The musician shared a post on Twitter which read, “As a United States Citizen, and the daughter of two veterans, and the sister of another, I am ashamed of what is happening in Washington. Hypocrisy, shame, Embarrassment. Unpatriotic hypocritical sheep drinking poison Kool aid. This is a sad day for America.”
