Northeast Ohio lawmakers condemned rioters supporting President Donald Trump after they breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and stopped the certification of the presidential election.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called the scene an embarrassment, while local elected officials described the riot as a stain on America s history.
Others, like state Rep. and Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, a Democrat from Akron, were more blunt.
“The attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol by terrorists is the direct result of Republicans undermining the very democratic institutions and principles that they were elected to and swore to protect and uphold, Sykes said in a written statement.
