(LEX 18) â Many Kentucky lawmakers condemned the actions of pro-Trump rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. Lawmakers said they learned of the breach at the U.S. Capitol as they discussed legislation in committee meetings. "This is just a travesty. This is not what we are about in the United States of America," said Senator Damon Thayer, majority floor leader. "Violence like this, it's terrible. This is a sad, sad day in our country's history." President Trump did not immediately respond to the breach, but later issued a tweet, followed by a video statement.
