Arizona Republican elected officials have reacted to the siege at the U.S. Capitol by blaming, and this is not a comprehensive list, Democrats, Doug Ducey, other Republicans, Antifa, and Congress.
Here's a look back at the last 24 hours in tweets...

Violence and breaking into the U. S. Capitol is dangerous and totally unacceptable.

I voted to uphold the U.S. Constitution by objecting to Arizona's electors. The U.S. Constitution says that states need to follow their state's election laws in presidential elections. Since AZ's voter registration deadline law was violated, the U.S. Constitution was violated.

He boasted he'd "lead the charge" and "FIGHT" for Trump supporters.

TODAY, I will lead the charge on the House floor to STAND for election integrity and FIGHT for the millions of Americans who have lost complete trust in our elections systems. pic.twitter.com/aoFMVvh9EK

Peaceful protests are the hallmark of our constitutional republic. Violence should never be tolerated, and I condemn the violence we experienced at the U.S. Capitol today. Those who have violently violated the laws should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

When that didn't work, the @AZGOP asked people if they were willing to give their lives for Trump.

The Arizona Republican Party is now advocating for violence to overturn the 2020 election.

Governor @dougducey, Attorney General @GeneralBrnovich, and other Republicans in the state have a duty to denounce this extremist rhetoric before someone gets killed. pic.twitter.com/3D2Nspsedc

You know what could have prevented this? #ElectionIntegrity and full transparent investigations into 2020 fraud. Audits, eyes on paper ballots, full audit of ALL digitally adjudicated and all duplicated ballots, full evaluation of Dominion machines. Remember: Democrats refused.

"I don't know how loud we have to get before they start to listen to us... "
He said yesterday's events were not about the president but about "the Hillary Clintons"https://t.co/OedKXvXUp7

I condemn the radical Antifa mobs for attacking the Capitol and I condemn the Democrats for wanting to defund the very police who protected them.

Congress caused the killing of a peaceful unarmed Air Force veteran today because of their ignoring of the requests from the people. She was shot her in the neck & is now deceased. All they had to do was allow for an audit of the machines and votes. This could have been avoided.

Mark Finchem represents a seat I briefly held a decade ago. He\u2019s represented it far-longer, and he is a friend. @MarkFinchem should be expelled from the AZ House immediately for participating in a violent riot against the United States. https://t.co/8X1BZRLEGL

@AdamKwasman Misrepresentation is running rampant among those who don\u2019t even bother to fact check their claims. There\u2019s this thing called a telephone and one uses it to communicate with others. #truthmatters pic.twitter.com/jddV5WkwK4

@SenSchumer compared today's protest in #DC to bombing of Pearl Harbor! What a hideous slap in the face to our soldiers on that fateful day! Today, men, women, young people, and children peacefully protested at their US Capitol. Only a small few broke the law. #StopTheSteaI

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, who voted to overturn the election results with baseless claims of fraud, worries that people are upset. Here is the amicus brief she signed on to in December: https://t.co/qOHLYXMoeq https://t.co/3QorUMELUJ

More from Government
The pattern is:
GOP in power - GOP dictates policy
Dems in power - GOP dictates policy
Soooooooo what\u2019s the problem. The statement I responded to read as it they haven\u2019t been trying to work together.. but they have so..?

The Dems shouldn't legislate toward the GOP.
The GOP doesn't represent its constituents.
The GOP can push it's agenda on its own time.
If Dems push an agenda that actually helps people, it'll also actually help the GOP constituency.
The GOP won't. So give them nothing.
The Dems should ignore the GOP just like the GOP ignores the Dems.
Make them pay for every moment of obstruction.
Just a hard press on legislation that is unassailable and shine a light on the GOP.
Constant. Relentless. Unyielding.
Shut them out and shut them down.
The GOP is not a legitimate political party. It is an anti-democratic, fascist criminal syndicate with no interest whatsoever in governance.
Nobody should give them the slightest bit of credit or legitimacy ever again.
Not a fucking ounce.
Nobody should engage them in legitimate debate in Congress.
They should be pariahs and treated as unserious occupants of Congress.
Because these people were totally ok with their colleagues being killed in furtherance of the destruction of the insitution.
