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.

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb speaking after the storming of the US Capitol yesterday:

"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

I don’t think the sharp opposition between “hard-edge populism” & “conservative orthodoxy” holds. Many of the Trump administration’s achievements were boilerplate conservatism. Its own website trumpets things like “massive deregulation,” tax cuts, etc. /2
https://t.co/N97v85Bb79
The claim that Buckley and “key GOP politicians banded together to marginalize anti-Communist extremism and conspiracy-mongering” of the JBS has been widely repeated lately but the history is more complicated. /3
This tweet by @ThePlumLineGS citing a paper by @sam_rosenfeld and @daschloz on the "porous" boundary between conservatives, the GOP and the far-right is relevant in this context.
There's a great paper called "The Long New Right" that tells the story of the GOP/conservative movement's failure to police extremists for the last 50 years.

It's highly relevant to the insurrection and Marjorie Greene's lunacy.
I summed it up here:https://t.co/DTlzGomy5h pic.twitter.com/Dhc38CDuE2
This is a separate point but I find it interesting that Gaetz, like Roy Moore did In his failed Senate campaign, disses McConnell. What are their actual policy differences? MM supported taking health care away from millions, a tax cut for the rich, conservative judges, etc. /5

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
