Protesters flooded the Washington State Capitol in Olympia yesterday.
Many of the protesters were reportedly armed and stormed the governor’s mansion where they congregated for roughly half an hour before being forced off the proerty.
No arrests were made at the event.
Across the country, protesters marched at their statehouses. In Minnesota, there were cheers when the Capitol news broke. In New Mexico, the state police had to evacuate staff as a precaution.
In Utah, Gov. Spencer Cox sent home hundreds of protesters. A small fight broke out in Ohio between pro-Trump demonstrators and counter-protesters. There was at least one person arrested in Oregon and a peaceful rally in Kansas had supporters filing into the statehouse through security checkpoints and walking around historical exhibits.
In Hawaii, protesters lined the road near the capitol building and waved American flags and Trump 2020 flags.
There were also protesters in South Carolina, but they left the statehouse before the attack occurred at the U.S. Capitol.
