High-ranking Ohio Republicans condemned the actions of those who stormed the Capitol Wednesday afternoon.
Others just tweeted they're safe or that they have confidence the Capitol police will resolve the situation.
Here's what they said:
Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Columbia Tusculum
Wenstrup called the protestors "criminals" in a tweet.
"This violence must stop," Wenstrup tweeted. "The criminals who have broken into the U.S. Capitol, injured law enforcement, and disrupted the constitutional process are not patriots. No matter what flag one is carrying, people violating the law need to be held accountable."
Wenstrup went on to say that Americans are free to exercise free speech but must do so peacefully.
