As chaos erupts at Capitol, officials lambaste Trump for rhetoric that fanned flames

As chaos erupts at Capitol, officials lambaste Trump for rhetoric that fanned flames

Members of Congress and former White House officials are criticizing the president and calling on him to stop the violence after pro-Trump supporters and protesters breached the Capitol building Wednesday in a stunning scene.

"Donald Trump and his enablers are responsible for inciting this violence," Rep. Marilyn Strickland, D-Wa., told ABC News. The chaos erupted after Trump addressed the crowd and as Congress was in the process of certifying former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential win.

"President Trump incited his followers to violence," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the Senate Democratic whip, said. "They stormed the Capitol and stopped the House and Senate in session. We do not know at this point the extent of the damage or injuries they have caused."
