RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY/AP/NEXSTAR) — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam sent members of the Virginia National Guard along with 200 Virginia State Police troopers to assist after a mob of President Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
The Guard will stay in Washington until Biden is sworn in on Jan 20, Northam said Thursday. Northam says state troopers will also remain on the ground in D.C.

Just curious, but how does anyone know for certain that the mob was really “Trump supporters?”
MJM says
Obviously a leading question from you Paul. Any time you ever saw, ANYWHERE, a Trump rally, you never saw any riot gear. In order to continue to make this entire questionable vote situation, and the saga of Donald Trump look worse in media, George Soros now buys MAGA hats for his ANTIFA rioters in their full regala of riot gear. Done so simply to help the infiltration and misdirection of all sides of the story. Of course some True Trump supporters got swept up in the emotions and the wave of the event and followed the crowd, but the creation of the anarchy at the event came from the professional rioters who infiltrated the situation, started pushing the police, starting breaking the windows and breaching the security. So now a red hat means you are truly deplorable and Trump supporters caused all the problems. Yeah, sure. I’m the one who created all the disrespect. I tore up the State of The Union address on National t.v, and she wonders why someone, empowered by mob rule, thinks someone else should sit in her chair ? The rioting is not condoned here in any way, shape or form. I am simply saying that I see who created this situation and it started many years ago when the man came down the escalator. It has NOTHING TO DO with the fact that he is not always perfectly politically correct in his speech. We are all responsible for our own actions, every single minute of the day.
Paul Plante says
How do we know today for a fact beyond a shred of any reasonable doubt that the Nazis did not burn the Reichstag building on February 27, 1933?
Elementary my dear Watson – they produced the COMMIE who did it.
End of that story!
When you got the real culprit in hand, what more proof is needed?
So how do we know today that it was really Trump supporters who stormed the capitol?
Again, very elementary!
They have a dead Trump supporter!
That makes it pretty much open and shut to me, anyway.
Nobody denies she is a Trump supporter.
And she is dead inside the capitol.
So there we have it!
The riot was caused by Trump supporters who not only are the dregs of society and deplorables, but insurrectionists and seditionists and domestic terrorists.
Kevin Lewis says
I would estimate that approximately 70% of the mayhem at the Washington DC rally was caused by ANTIFA dressed in pro American or Trump apparel. If you look at the photographs you will see a lot of black. Many dressed in black with nothing else but a maga hat, A black hoodie with a maga hat was very prevalent, another indicator was the age group of those doing the damage and sheer ferociousness in their efforts. They just did not look like Trump supporters, they looked more like the rioters in California and elsewhere over the summer. I witnessed many dressed mostly in black congregating as well. Some with skateboards, a common destructive tool and mode of transportation for ANTIFA types, none however would fully disclose their identity and if there was a rally in Washington DC, do you think ANTIFA would not be there? If you do not here of this by the 20th I am afraid you never will.

THE HILL
“Harris: ‘I believe’ Biden accusers”
Michael Burke
3 APRIL 2019
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that she believes women who say they felt uncomfortable after receiving unwanted touching from former Vice President Joe Biden.
“I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Harris said at a presidential campaign event in Nevada.
The California senator added that Biden will need to decide for himself whether to run for president.
“He’s going to have to make that decision for himself.”
“I wouldn’t tell him what to do,” Harris said.
In recent days, several women have come forward to allege that Biden has touched them inappropriately.
Former Nevada state lawmaker Lucy Flores, a Democrat, made the first accusation last week in an essay in New York Magazine’s The Cut.
On Monday, Amy Lappos told the Hartford Courant that Biden also touched her inappropriately at a 2009 fundraiser in Connecticut.
Two additional women, Caitlyn Caruso and D. J. Hill, came forward Tuesday, sharing their experiences with The New York Times.
Biden, who is considering running for president and has led a number of polls of Democrats, has not commented publicly on the accusations since Sunday, when in response to Flores’s allegation he said in a statement that he has “offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort.”
“And not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately,” Biden added.
“If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully.”

That is not why the National Guard is there. Trump signed the Insurrection Act to protect. The capitol raid was staged.

Uncle Ralph is showboating for democrat compadres. We are now being told that the f.b.i. made the Capitol Police aware of an expected rioting mob only the day before the riot. By then it was virtually too late to establish a protective perimeter and properly protect w/o serious problems. The dems have no excuse now, and they have some angry people right where they want them, ready to act stupid. Ralph and Nancy are all ready to sacrifice the police and civilian pawns and are hoping “the presidency must be protected at all costs”. They are now prepping for serious backlash from last week, and hoping for a serious confrontation.
