It's hard to see what a fraction of Trump supporters thought they might accomplish by storming the U.S. Capitol.
Whatever it was, they didn't accomplish it, and they did much harm. People are dead. A sitting body of public servants has been disrupted and threatened. Order has been diminished.
On Wednesday, supporters of President Donald Trump rallied outside of the U.S. Capitol building in hopes of getting Congress to not certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Those outside felt as though Trump was the rightful winner of the election, buying into the president's voter fraud allegations that have yet to be proven.
