Bomb threat causes 2 brief Capitol building evacuations as DC protests erupt during electoral count

US Capitol Police are on the scene with tear gas as protests erupt during the electoral vote count.

Fox News learned a shooting victim was transported. No details on the shooting were immediately available. "This is not the direction we should go," McCarthy said, while urging President Trump to make a statement. The FBI has been deployed to the area as well, the agency said. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told Fox News that agents were in the Capitol building searching for protesters.

Vice President Mike Pence, who broke with Trump and refused to reject the electoral votes and send them back to the states, was ushered out of the chamber. A journalist with Fox 5 DC who was inside the Cannon office building at the time said an officer stood in the center of the rotunda and shouted for people to "clear the building."

This is what happens when you promote baseless conspiracy theories to ignorant stupid people. Fox has some responsibility in this, especially Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson and Levin.

Funny they can cover the attempted coup today

foxnews own this! It instigated crazy conspiracy theories, stirred resentment, encouraged the mob, put fuel into the fire for years. Time to de-fund foxnews and give democracy a chance.

No bomb.... just a few antifa infiltrators trying to make conservatives look bad while they peacefully protest.
