SHARE
FLORIDA — As chaos reigns in our nation’s capital in the wake of a pro-Trump protest that turned into a violent assault on the Capitol Building — where lawmakers had gathered to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win — Florida lawmakers are weighing in on the violence that gripped the city this afternoon.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor called the protests in Washington Un-American, saying “We are a nation that welcomes peaceful protests, they move our country forward and have shaped legislation throughout our history. What is happening right now is an attack on our democratic process and institutions."
