美國國會原訂在當地時間6日13時(台灣時間7日2時)召開聯席會議,認證2020年美國總統結果,不料當日一早起大批總統川普支持者湧入華府參加川普的造勢場合,隨後更闖入國會大廈,不久後遭到警方驅逐,過程中一名女性抗議者中槍不幸身亡。
警方清場之後國會重新恢復議程,美國朝野上下紛紛發文譴責「川粉」。
準總統拜登表示,今天的事件是一個痛苦的提醒,民主是脆弱的。為了維護民主需要人們的善意、領導者的勇氣。
Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of good will, leaders with the courage to stand up, who are devoted not to pursuit of power and personal interest at any cost, but to the common good.

現任國務卿蓬佩奧也發推文譴責,表示入侵國會山莊是不可接受的,漫無法紀以及報暴動,不管在世界上的哪裏都一樣。彭佩奧表示他造訪過許多國家,支持和平抗議。
The storming of the U.S. Capitol today is unacceptable. Lawlessness and rioting -- here or around the world -- is always unacceptable. I have travelled to many countries and always support the right of every human being to protest peacefully for their beliefs and their causes.
— Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) January 6, 2021
共和黨參議員羅姆尼也在選舉人團票點算聯席會議中發言呼籲同僚完成憲政程序,也在推特上表示華府今天發生的事情是一個暴亂(insurrection),由總統川普煽動。

民主黨眾議院議長裴洛西(Nancy Pelosi)也在推特上譴責,表示這是對我們民主的攻擊,由政府最高等級的人所鼓動,這些不應該阻止我們完成對憲法的義務。
Today’s shameful assault on our democracy — anointed at the highest level of government — must not deter us from our responsibility to the Constitution. Tonight, we will move forward with the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election.
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 7, 2021
英國首相強森也發文表示,美國是世界各地民主的榜樣,美國需要展現和平有秩序的權力交接。
Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress. The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.
