The joint congressional session to nationally certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory over outgoing President Donald Trump was thrown into chaos today after pro-Trump extremists stormed the Capitol just after Trump encouraged them to "fight" for him there.

Deluded by Trump's months-long smear campaign against the integrity of United States elections, the supporters infiltrated the Senate floor and the offices of multiple lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Vice President Mike Pence, whom the President denounced on Twitter minutes before, was forced to evacuate to a secure location within the Capitol.


Tear gas was deployed inside the building, an improvised explosive device was found on the grounds, and a female Trump supporter was shot and killed by law enforcement reportedly as she began to climb onto the ledge of a doorway in the Capitol.

It was the first time the Capitol was breached in over 200 years and the violent uprising against a constitutionally enshrined process represented one of the darker days in American history.

But one host on the conservative Fox News network is facing backlash for praising the supporters, calling the breach of the capitol a "huge victory" for them.

Watch below.

Fox News host Martha MacCallum said:

"I was under the assumption [lawmakers] would be safe in the chamber, that was before we realized people had breached the building and were walking through the rotunda. Obviously, this is a huge victory for these protesters. They have disrupted the system in an enormous way."

The comments were roundly decried on Twitter.





Many saw MacCallum's praise as an indictment of the entire, infamously right-wing network.




The Capitol remains on lockdown, but lawmakers have expressed determination to finish the certification tonight.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”
