Republican Congressman: This is Coup Attempt!

Illinois Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger said Wednesday that storming the US Capitol by protesters supporting President Doland Trump is a "coup attempt."

"If we continue down this road of culture war, own the left, you know, storming the capitol, I figure we will be a failed party in the not too far future," he said.

Pro-Trump protesters laid siege to and then occupied the Capitol and clashed with police forces, leaving a number of injured persons.

After Trump tweeted that Vice President Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution," after Pence confirmed he did not have the power to overturn the Electoral College results and would not do so, Congressman Kinzinger replied, saying, "You are not protecting the country. Where is the DC guard? You are done and your legacy will be a disaster."
