Debido a la irrupción de los manifestantes pro-Trump en el Congreso de Estados Unidos, la Cámara de Representantes y el Senado de Estados Unidos fueron evacuados en medio de la certificación de la victoria de Joe Biden en la elecciones presidenciales del 2020.
Justo cuando las cámaras estaban debatiendo la validación de las votaciones en el estado de Arizona, los manifestantes interrumpieron la sesión.
Los representantes de Carolina del Norte en la Cámara no habían emitido un juicio a favor o en contra acerca de los resultados de los comicios en Arizona al momento de la irrupción.
Desde que perdió las elecciones, Donald Trump buscó anular los resultados en ciertos estados por medio de demandas y exigencias al Congreso. Más de 100 legisladores republicanos decidieron apoyar a Trump en sus planes para invalidar los comicios, entre ellos los representantes de Carolina del Norte Madison Cawthorn, Ted Budd, David Rouzer, Richard Hudson, Greg Murphy, Dan Bishop y Virginia Foxx.
Dichos representantes, emitieron su opinión sobre la irrupción de los manifestantes en el Capitolio.
I proudly back the blue and support law and order, which is why I condemned the violence that took place in cities across the nation this summer. It's a national disgrace to have a mob attacking Capitol Police and engaging in anarchy. This is not what America stands for.

We're safe, but sheltering in place. If you're in Washington, D.C. today please be safe.

I’ve been evacuated from the House floor. We are safe thanks to the brave men & women of the Capitol Hill Police. I remain resolved to uphold my oath to the Constitution & debate our disagreements. Violence is not acceptable & protesters should disperse peacefully immediately.

Violence like what we’re witnessing in the United States Capitol is unacceptable.

People have the right to peacefully protest, and there is absolutely no reason to resort to destruction.
God bless the brave men and women of the United States Capitol Police for protecting us.
My staff and I are safe. We are sheltering in place.

More information to come.
The violence that we are witnessing at the United States Capitol is completely unacceptable. I am thankful to the brave men and women of the @CapitolPolice who are doing their duty and working diligently to keep everyone in the Capitol safe. God bless our law enforcement.

Violence will not change the outcome and is completely counter to this process. Capitol Police are honest, decent men and women whose only goal is to serve and protect the public.
— Rep. Richard Hudson (@RepRichHudson) January 6, 2021
Violence is always unacceptable and must stop NOW.
— Dan Bishop (@danbishopnc) January 6, 2021
We solve our problems through debate and peaceful protests, not violence.
Thank God for the brave men and women of Capitol Police.
