Warnings of armed protests at the U.S. Capitol and state capitol buildings across the country gathered traction Monday as authorities in Connecticut brace for any potential disorder amid increased calls to ouster President Donald Trump ahead of President-Elect Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
In the wake of the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol by right-wing insurgents last week, Connecticut’s senators called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense Monday to explain why the Capitol was so vulnerable and how the prosecution of insurrectionists will unfold.
The events that unfolded in our nation’s Capitol were a stark contrast to the peaceful protests at the Connecticut State Capitol earlier in the day. But with tensions running high across the country, Capitol Police are making some changes. The barriers are still up at the state Capitol, where hundreds of protesters came Wednesday to object to executive orders.
