PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) In the aftermath of Wednesday s chaos at the U.S. Capitol, trash littered the streets.
The heartbreaking scene motivated at least one local lawmaker to roll up his sleeves and get to work. When I got to the (Capitol) Rotunda, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful rooms in the country, there was debris, trash, garbage all over the place. There was clothing, cigarette butts on the floor, said N.J. congressman Andy Kim. I really felt like the Capitol building, and our democracy had been treated with such disrespect, that if there was anything that I could do, even if it meant cleaning up the rooms.I wanted to do my part.
New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim walked amid the mess shortly after voting to certify Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump and felt the weight of the day wearing on him when something motivated him to clean up the debris.
