After pro-Trump mob storms U.S. Capitol, Bexar County GOP expects focus on local issues

SAN ANTONIO – The chaos that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as a mob stormed the building and laid siege to Congressional chambers was a far cry from the “law and order” mantra President Donald Trump has previously invoked.
So now that a group of his supporters have “defiled the seat of American democracy,” as said by President Trump himself, what happens to the political party he has led?
Reactions among Texas Republicans to the scene have varied. Some, like Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, rebuked the violence, with Roy tweeting at President Trump during the chaos to “get to a microphone immediately and establish calm and order.It’s the last thing you’ll do that matters as President,” and Crenshaw tweeting “Stop this bulls right now.”
