The Washington Post CONFIRMS that the barricades have been breached:
Thousands of President Trump’s supporters are in Washington for rallies Wednesday to falsely assert that the presidential election was stolen from him. Many in attendance see the demonstrations as a last stand for Trump on the same day that Congress votes to certify that President-elect Joe Biden won the election.
Trump — who lost the popular and electoral college vote — continues to dispute the results, without evidence, and has encouraged his supporters to attend the rallies in the nation’s capital. He took the stage about noon to roaring crowds, claiming he had won the election.
The crowd was packed between the Washington Monument and the Ellipse to the point where few people could stand without touching someone else. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) has asked residents to stay away.
Near the Ellipse south of the White House, a crowd struggled to hear President Trump’s speech but joined in a chant: “Fight for Trump!”
“Make it louder!” said a woman south of Constitution Avenue. By 12:15 p.m., people were beginning to peel off and head east. “Off to the Capitol,” one woman said. “Let’s go!”
Toward the middle of the president‘s speech, more people began streaming toward Capitol Hill, where Congress was preparing to certify the electoral college vote.
Patty Brinkley, 66, said it was more important to show opposition to that vote than listen to the rest of what Trump had to say.

Local Fox 5 in DC confirms that patriots are attempting to storm the Capitol Building:
Pro-Trump protesters began charging the U.S. Capitol steps on Wednesday as Congress began counting the Electoral College votes.
The surge occurred after thousands poured into the nation’s capital to support President Donald Trump, and to protest the results of the 2020 election, which Joe Biden won.
Speaking at a rally on Wednesday, the president maintained his claim that the election was fraudulent, a claim that has been widely refuted.
Social media posts from the scene indicate that U.S. Capitol police are struggling to contain the crowd.
The Cannon House Office Building is currently being evacuated.
Today is a historic day.
The House and Senate are currently meeting to certify the electoral votes.
Will they listen to the concerns of the people?
