Republican National Committee headquarters cleared after officials found pipe bomb outside

From CNN's Dan Merica and Mike Warren
The headquarters for the Republican National Committee were cleared Wednesday after a suspicious device was found nearby, committee communications director Michael Ahrens told CNN.
The headquarters are just a few blocks from the US Capitol. The evacuation happened roughly an hour ago, Ahrens said.
An RNC official told CNN that a pipe bomb was found on the ground outside, along the wall of the headquarters. The device was safely detonated by the police, the RNC official said.
The Democratic National Committee was also evacuated on Wednesday after a suspicious package was being investigated nearby, a Democratic source familiar with the matter tells CNN.
The party preemptively closed the building ahead of the protests, the source said, but a few security and essential personnel were evacuated.

OK WHO HAD INCITE A RIOT AS THEIR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION? IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.

45 telling the protesters to remain peaceful and go home.

While insisting that this election was the greatest crime ever perpetrated on Americans. (Totally ignoring the 4 years of kleptocracy and corruption under him.)

Everybody knows it.

As I just commented elsewhere in regards to Trump's faux-attempt to calm things down via Twitter:

BLM Protest reactions: "WHEN THE LOOTING STARTS, THE SHOOTING STARTS"
Reaction to Trumpcult literally storming the capitol: "Pls go home we love you! P.s. election was still totally stolen and rigged by evil evil people"

I don't think one needs more than that to know how much Trump 'condemns' this entire event.

Claim your scepter and plaque now!

TV news makes it look much worse than it is (and I mean the talking heads' rhetoric as much as the camera focus on the worst of incidents). It's bad, there's no denying that, and it's illegal, but this isn't a "coup". It's a horde of unemployed conspiracists getting together to vent their anger over their crappy educations.

President elect Biden bitch slapping Trump as hard as he can on TV, demanding that he fulfills his presidential oath, defends the constitution and should go on national television right now to defuse the situation.

Video of the scene lately shows the rioters being allowed to leave the Capitol. For the first time, police in riot equipment are beginning to fill in positions at the top of the steps and at entrances.

Weren't the Americans threatened with a taco truck on every corner if Clinton won, but not enough people in swing states enjoy tacos for lunch, or something?

LOL for real. You know he's eating this shiz up like it was made by McDonald's.

I wonder if he doesn't really want a coup... but will love, LOVE knowing he came so close and is likely to get away with it... it's just so baffling that this moron is the one who inspired so many idiots to back a wannabe dictator.
