right now. it was a hopeful morning that took a very, very, very quick and sinister and violent turn as this attempted coup went on. >> reporter: congress woman karen bass talked with abc. >> this is one of the saddest days in u.s. history that i can remember in my lifetime. >> reporter: former congressman pe pete mcelder pete. >> you've got to clear the chambers and you've got to kill people if necessary to allow the house and senate to meet it constitutional obligation. it a coup attempt. it something must have happened on the inside to allow the people to get into the chambers. >> reporter: others tweeted sentiments including representative barbara lee who said quote i'm in a safe location with my colleagues and praying for the safety of everyone in the area. donald trump is the only one responsible for this attempted coup. our democracy will prevail.

and the social unrest. >> i hope we can do speak in ways that don't involve violence is my hope. there are ways to talk and deal with things without having to storm the capitol. >> had this been a black lives matter protester something of that nature, it wouldn't have gone on this long. so i mean, i don't want to really have an opinion like that. i'm trying not to be bias and trying to just pray for the best but you're really starting to see how unfair things are and it unfortunate but i'm praying for us. >> reporter: in walnut creek, laura anthony, abc 7 news. a curfew is now in effect in washington d.c. we'll see how things may out over the next few hours. just to keep you up to date, the electoral college vote, they're going to try to continue with that at some point tonight. we'll see if they're successful. much more ahead including what local gop officials are saying what went on today and what's next as my name is trisha.

and what is the beloved right of every american to engage in protests and free speech. >> the mayor says zeshe's concerned about the tremendous amount of healing work that has to be done with people on both sides of the political spectrum and says she has faith people will come back together and hold leaders responsible for serving the people. well, coming together may not be so easy after today's assault on the capitol. san francisco chronicle insider and contributor phil join us. those of us that are older know this isn't the first time the ha halls of congress have been breached and attack but what is different today? >> the president of the united states was involved whether intentionally or benignly, he was out there in front of the rally and talking about the election being stolen, about it being fraudulent and fired up the crowd.

this is something we've never seen before. let's be honest. here we're not strangers to this type of violence. anybody that covered oakland city hall has been there when it's been taken over and shutdown by protesters. oakland downtown and city hall are still boarded up from riots last year but the difference is this involved the president of the united states and it was dramatic and shocking to see and the entire event was something like we've never seen before. >> lawmaker dos pls do plan to the electoral college vote tonight. some republicans say they will drop objections to certifying. is this a sign the gop can break away from the president and maybe that task was made easier by what happened? >> the gop much as broken away. mitch mcconnell said it over. it's done. anybody to question it at this point to try to cast dispurg

disbursements on the election is threatening the republic. many said it's going to go on and we'll have a peaceful transfer of power. we saw today a group of people after a fired up rally storm the capitol of the united states. get right in there. break in. it's shocking. but right now they're on their way home. order has been restored. congress is planning to go back tonight and finish the business. it's not the waves that hit a democracy that counts but the resiliency of the democracy when the waves hit and this is not going to cause the united states or this election process to miss a beat. they will continue on because that is the most important thing they do in washington and they're going to get it done. >> that's an interesting take and different from those who say this actually is a sign the democracy is fragile. it a sign of strength in someways, too. i want to end with this. some americans are very concerned about two more weeks of a trump presidency because of what happened and some say including representative jackie speier saying hey, we should

consider the 25th amendment to remove him immediately. what are your thoughts on that? >> i heard the congresswoman speak about that. the idea, is the president mentally capable of and stable enough for the next two weeks or should the presidency be transferred over to vice president mike pence until joe biden is sworn in? you know, that is one of the questions that needs to be answered because it took the president a long time to get out this and say hey, give it up. go home. now, even when he said that, he said again, the election was stolen. so you -- there are questions out there publicly about what is going on in the mind of donald trump since this election and it legitimate and if anything, this is going to be served as a warning to all the powers that be in washington there is all this talk about coup, that's not real. what is real, though, is the president and they're going to be watching him as well because they go if you can start this, what is next? >> in a statement of go home was accompanied by also we love you to the rioters. so phil, thank you so much.

anarchis anarchists, hate groups and supporter of president trump stormed the people's house. this is an unprecedented the act in u.s. history. scenes we never imagined we'd witness in this country and we did. outrage is sweeping the nation. some americans calling it sad, despicable and attempted coup and some labeling the capital as the largest crime scene in the country going on for hours and allowed to continue for hours. local republicans condemning what happened but approving, yes, approving how the president handled the situation. kris reyes with reaction as all of these scenes were unfolding today. >> good people across the political spectrum need to stand up and say enough. if not, we'll face more serious challenges going forward. >> there are people there that made the choice to go act this way and it really, really disgusting and again, this is not the american way. >> reporter: a prominent san

francisco lawyer and trump supporter tweeted this scene at the u.s. capitol is shocking and disgraceful. the mob violence that the left engaged in the past years is despicable but in no way excuses these crimes. do you share the belief of those who stormed the capitol today this election was stolen? >> i think there are clearly irregularitie irregularities, something odd about this election. it important for me to say i do not -- what they're doing is wrong. they should leave the building and stop what they are doing right now because this is not helping. >> i think nobody is arguing the magnitude of what happened today and i'm just wondering what your take is on the response of the president? >> again, i think he should have came out sooner and been more clear. i mean, he was clear and that people should leave. they should be peaceful and should not be violent. you know, i think that some of the rhetoric about the election is probably time to stop that. >> what responsibility do you think the republican party should be taking for what happened today?

>> well, i think you're hearing republican leaders across the board saying that this is not the way to go and to stop what they're doing but the republican party didn't organize this event so to the republican party has no culpability whatsoever. >> reporter: in san francisco, kris reyes for abc 7 news. we want to get some legal perspective on today's violence protest in the capitol so a little while ago i interviewed the professor of law and asked should we be surprised? >> yes and no. we should be surprised any time there say commission of violence for political reasons in our country. i had not heard about the death of the woman that was shot. the fact someone has died along the lines of this protest, that should shock all of us and not be acceptable to any of us. i'm not surprised another way in temples of president's willi willingness to insight such

violence for his own personal causes whatever they might be whether to stroke his ego or support baseless claims so you can make another claim to power in the future. whatever it might be, it has had a really damaging effect on our democracy today. >> a lot of people even republicans are calling on the president to denounce the actions of his supporters. he did release a video statement saying go home but continues to say this was a stolen election. so when we continues to say that, what do you think is the overall effect? >> i think it's a backhanded slap. it a promotion and continued incitement of the activities going on today. i don't think the call to go home is genuine. i thinks and values what the people are dog. it a green light for those protestors and those rioters to continue to do what they're doing and in ordinary tore get them to stop, he needs to come out and say and recognize that

he lost the election. i fear he will not do that. >> is this anyway to look at it other than saying race is and white supremacy are a central part of what we're seeing here today? >> absolutely. i think that there has been the promotion of white supremacy by this president. there is a white solidarity movement that has been associated with white supremacy and this notion there are real americans, true americans, deserving americans, those who should be able to vote and take part in the political process and undeserving that should not be part of the process and once we divide ourselves, it hard to move forward and when we have someone in the office that stokes those positions, it makes it that much harder for us to have a democracy going forward. >> is this a logical extension of charcharlottesville in 2017? >> it's a logic tal extension h

claimed president obama wasn't born in this country so the stoking of racial division during his campaign to office, that ultimately contributed to the charlottesville massacre and tragedy and charlottesville protest and tragedy. i think they are all part and parcel of a trend towards racial division that this president has stoked and will continue beyond this presidency because into the future, there will be future trumps whether they be from the family of trump or whether they be accolades who see what trump has done as a path in a way to achieve political victory and political power and that future is something i'm particularly concerned about. >> professor lose tells me the fact that capitol police were very restrained in their approach towards rye the s rio arrested few people is a reflection of the inequality of

marsha marble floors, which we did and then there was a shot i heard and then there were probably eight or ten police officers in the chamber calling out frankly conflicting orders and they were all armed. i certainly was anxious but i knew that we had the police officers there who could in fact, use their guns if they needed to. >> so you were hiding on the floor in the house chamber. i got to ask you, you're a survivor. you were shot in jonestown but how did today compare? >> well, i certainly had a flash back, i have to be honest with you. but when i was on that airstrip, we had no police officers with us. we had no guns. so we had no way to protect

ourselves. there was the sense that, you know, unless this was a cavalcade of terrorists with guns that we would be secured. now, there was pounding going up on our third level which then concerned all of us because that suggested that they had breached the third level of the capitol and sure enough, when they finally did allow us to depart, as we walked out, there were probably eight the ten persons lying flat down on the marble floor and there has been a series of those photos that have been shown on tv and then we had to travel into staircases for a very long period of time and get to a secure location where we've spent the last five hours. i just now returned to my office and the anticipated beginning or resuming i should say of the debate on arizona's vote will take place starting at 5:00 your

time, 8:00 my time. >> do you expect that process to go smoother now because we've heard some republican members that were going to object to the results in some states are now dropping the objections. do you think today's venevents actually bringing everyone together? >> well, certainly the day's events have sobered up some of my colleagues that thought this political theater was good for them and their base. i don't know how anyone can look at what happened here and suggestion somehow this is good for america. the capitol hasn't been breached since 1814 when the british came in and burned the capitol down and now we have americans who think that they can violate law. they can take unlawful acts. they can take property from the capitol and if that's okay and a president that frankly incited them to do just that.

>> given how you feel about that, i know you tweeted you believe the 25th amendment should be invoked to remove president trump even though he only has two weeks left in office before president elect biden is inaugurated. is that what you're calling for? do you think that will br perhaps further division? >> he has only been back in washington for six diays and lok what's happened. i do not believe it is safe for our country. i believe that he is not effective as commander in chief. in fact, it was not president trump but vice president pence who authorized the national guard in d.c. to assist so that would suggest the president has basically takes some like to the people with trump signs are coming to the capitol

and making themselves heard. i actually think that he relishes it, and i think the tweets this afternoon would suggest that his weak effort at trying to calm the terrorists and they are, they are domestic terrorists, they were a mob. he did it in a manner that was lackluster. he basically said oh, let's go home and be peaceful. i know this is a terrible thing. they have stolen the election from us. he continues to lie force he has to be stopped and i'm afraid what he'll do in the next two weeks. % >> congresswoman there today and still there. thank you for spending the time to talk with us and again, very happy that you are all right. we are the thrivers. women with metastatic breast cancer,...
