Protesters have breached the Capitol. They’re outside the Senate chamber

This is happening
Police officers are holding them steps away from the Senate chamber, which is locked. Senators are inside. I see a few confederate flags.
Some sort of gas has been set off. I’m not sure by whom. Police seem to be trying to deescalate and talk to them.
“If we don’t get justice, this will never stop,” one protester yells

I count about 10 protesters by the Ohio Clock
Looks like a lot more protesters walking through the Rotunda toward the House chamber
That’s the confederate flag flying outside the Senate chamber
Protesters are on the third floor of the Senate, walking door to door, shouting “Where the fuck are they?”

They’re in the gallery
They’re in the chamber. One is up on the dais yelling “Trump won that election!” This is insane
