“This is crazy, this is banana republic stuff and it needs to stop immediately,” shares Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin) who spoke with WHBY news and also spoke in a video from lockdown from his U.S. Capitol Office.
“It’s not enough just to say, ‘peaceful protest,’ he needs to tell these people to stand down,” shared Gallagher.
He said this is the result of President Donald Trump’s continued claims that the presidential election was stolen.
“Mr. President. You have got to stop this. You are the only person who can call this off. Call it off. The election is over. Call it off,” Gallagher said.
President Donald Trump has tweeted and recently posted a video to Twitter telling those who have breached the U.S. Capitol to go home. You can watch that here.
