(CNN)Supporters of President Donald Trump have breached the US Capitol as lawmakers count the Electoral College votes certifying President-elect Joe Biden's win.

Shortly after 1 p.m. ET hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers "traitors" for doing their jobs. About 90 minutes later, police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked. Shortly after, the House floor was evacuated by police.
Vice President Mike Pence was also evacuated from Capitol, where he was to perform his role in the counting of electoral votes.
Video from inside the Capitol showed Trump supporters marching through Statuary Hall. The US Capitol Police is asking for additional law enforcement for assistance, including federal authorities, per a source familiar.
The source says there are several suspicious devices outside the Capitol building.
The Capitol police officer in the House chamber told lawmakers that they may need to duck under their chairs and informed lawmakers that protesters were in the building's Rotunda.

While the White House refused to comment on the protests, Trump said on Twitter, "Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
The protesters have breached exterior security barriers, and video footage shows protesters gathering and some clashing with police near the Capitol building. CNN's team on the ground saw a number of protestors trying to go up the side of the Capitol building. Several loud flash bangs have been heard.
Protesters could be seen pushing against metal fences and police using the fences to push protesters back, while other officers reached over the top to club people trying to cross their lines.
Flash bangs could be heard near the steps of the Capitol as smoke filled the air. In some instances officers could be seen deploying pepper spray. Tear gas has been deployed, but it's not clear whether by protesters or police, and people wiped tears from their eyes while coughing.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser just announced a citywide curfew from 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday until 6 a.m. ET Thursday.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Unbelievable! These Trump protesters or hooligans are roaming albeit aimlessly the floor of the Senate chamber. They have disrupted the constitutional work of Congress. How did we get to this point?

We are not in Nigeria, this is the USA - as far as I know it’s a PEACEFUL PROTEST!

Any law breaker will, I assure you, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, unlike your Nigeria where peaceful protesters are killed like flys.

Just imagine if these were Black people protesting.Ā 
By the way, manyĀ of these are not ā€œprotestersā€ but pure anarchists emboldened by Trump and his core supporters.Ā 
Joe.Ā

This is America, constitutionally defended, American Patriots, Militias, "We the People", rights to bear ARMS, in defense of the constitution which has been desecratedĀ by corrupt Washington DC politicians, corrupt Justices, corrupt courts, corrupt governors, corrupt FBI, corrupt Secretary of States who aided in stuffing ballots at midnight, corrupt election officials who aided in distributing fraudulent ballot papers to homes who never asked for it in the first place, corrupt post office workers who were synchronizingĀ illegal ballots across battleground states, corrupt FAKE NEWS MAINSTREAMĀ MEDIA HOUSES LIKE CNN, AP, AND OTHERS. Corrupt TECH INDUSTRIES LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YTUBE,Ā  and other Communists China, and their leftists group who were censoring Rights group from speaking truth about crooked Democrats backed by rogue Communists China to rig this election. Aforesaid calculated COUP AGAINST God sent son President Donald J. Trump was busted with massive evidence, many cameras, across battleground states all documented.Ā  You the Patriots to keep quiet and allow this fraud to stand. Hell NO.Ā 


Additionally, FAKE NEWS will not report that corrupt Biden is of course a pedophile. No they will not, with satanic rogue billionaire tech that is censoring anything that exposes rogue Biden and his drug addict son Hunter Biden with their Communists China finances to sell America to rogue Communists China.Ā Ā 


Prophetic:Ā 


Of course corrupt Biden is a pedophile check is record.Ā Rogue communists-china financed rogue democrats to stole this election and, American patriots, militias, Senator Ted Cruz and many more are American Patriots that rose to the occasion and challenged the coup against PresidentĀ Trump victory, which was rigged at midnight by communists-china backed rogue democrats. Communist leftists crooked Democrats can do nothing about it. Additionally, rogue Biden will be removed inĀ a hurry. Mark today's date. Prophetically, Defenders of America has made it clear that Communists China and her stooges is not permitted to take America down or take it over, the rogue Socialist-Communist part, never, it not going to happen. Corrupt Washington DC politicians can be rest assured that America belongs to ā€˜We The People of the United States of Americaā€, and there is nothing corrupt justice department, corrupt courts, corrupt governors, corrupt secretary of states, corrupt FBI, corrupt Communist-China’s $400million financed rogue Biden, and his drug addict son Hunter and their corrupt Dominion machine that stole this election won by God sent son President Donald J. Trump in a landslide victory can do about it. Protectors of America, Militias, and constitution defenders have spoken loud and clear that the Communists China and their stooges in the USA and outside of the United States is not permitted to take over the United States of America. It will be resisted by any means necessary.

Never. It cannot happen. Mark this DAY.
