It was a chaotic site at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, as a large group of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the building in an attempt to halt the confirmation of Joe Biden as the next President.
The protesters pushed through security at the Capitol building just after 1:00 Eastern Time, and forced lawmakers to evacuate the building. Four people died during the incident, which drew the disapproval of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including some from Eastern Wisconsin.
State Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu of Oostburg, Senator Andre Jacque of De Pere, and Senator Eric Wimberger of Green Bay were among a large group of Republican Senators who all signed a letter that condemned the violence seen in Washington.
In the letter, the Republican lawmakers stated, “It is unacceptable and it is un-American. We cannot abide this assault on our republic. Violence, no matter the political affiliation or motive, has no place in our system of government and should not be tolerated.”
