This is how Georgia officials responded to the mob raid at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
A message from the Capitol.
Be safe. Be smart. Stay peaceful. Obey the laws.
This is not a time for violence.
This is a time to support President Trump and support election integrity.
God bless! pic.twitter.com/CtgktgQK9z

Gov. Brian Kemp called violence at the Capitol a “disgrace” and “un-American.”
.@GovKemp on the insurrection in Washington: “It’s a disgrace and quite honestly un-American … For those of you that have been calling for a special session, you can now see what that looks like.” #gapol pic.twitter.com/XKX1l6LS5J

Rep. Nikema Williams:
We are still on lockdown. I’m still safe. Armed domestic terrorists stormed the US Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power in our Country. In America.
Republicans contesting the election results are complicit in the violence you’ve watched on tv today.

Rep. Hank Johnson:
Harrowing moments inside the US Capitol!!! Hats off to the Capitol Hill Police protecting us. We are safe and secure. Pray for our nation.

Rep. Rick Allen:
I'm in a safe, secure location. The violence in our U.S. Capitol is anti-American and unacceptable. I urge all protestors to respect our law enforcement and immediately leave the building.

Rep. Lucy McBath (thread)
My staff and I are safe. The actions of those seeking to overturn the will of the people are dangerous and destructive, but they will not succeed.

Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux
In light of the personal responsibility Trump bears for today's events and his flagrant efforts to undermine the election in Georgia, I recommend the House move forward with impeachment proceedings immediately.
I urge my colleagues to do the right thing.

Rep. Buddy Carter
THE CAPITOL POLICE DO NOT DESERVE THIS. Respect our law enforcement!
