If one person from congress gets covid and its linked to the attack on our capitol, even person attending that attack should be charged with attempting murder as well. No different than a biological attack.

That’s awful. So sad and sending them lots of prayers and love. 👀

This is another sad fact regarding the rioting & violent storm of someone's place of employment, the Capitol. All these folks who had to go in hiding are at risk for developing COVID19. Meanwhile SarahHuckabee is really upset about all the followers she lost.

But just in case they didn’t already get it they’re going to reconvene on inauguration day to make absolutely sure that they attend a super spreader event

What else can Trump possibly infect the US with?

“May”

And it’s leader. QuincyTeaParty

And why were they exposed?!?Because SELFISH Republican congressmen and women refused to wear masks and refused to take masks that were offered to them. This is unconscionable. It’s disgusting, selfish behavior.

And they may have been exposed to murderers if they hadn't. I'd take my chances with COVID, being unarmed

Since you want to hold Trump responsible for the capital, we have, and will ask all of the Trump supporters, to hold all of the Democrats in both the House and the Senate responsible for all of the terrorism in the past 4 years done by ANTIFA and BLM. Choose wisely.

They should resign immediately.

Is so ironic when USA has the most advanced weapon to protect the country from terrorist or nuclear attack but unable to protect it's own Capitol the high security place from their own people and president. No one attack USA this time but it's own President.

If your falling off a cliff you may as well try to flap your arms. ...it was better then being taken captive or lynched.

Mdrrrr

Exactly what they deserve

and the terrorists probably gave it to the capitol police. they made it a point not to wear masks.
