川普支持者闖入國會
國會議員緊急避難
據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)、美國全國廣播公司(NBC)等美媒報導,當地時間下午1點左右,川普的支持者們高呼「USA」,揮舞著美國國旗和寫著「不要踐踏我」的旗幟,衝入國會大廈進行抗議。場面一度極其混亂。
國會大廈東側,數百名抗議者,其中有些人舉著川普旗幟,試圖越過安保人員。
Hundreds of protesters, some carrying large Trump flags, were seen on the East Front of the Capitol trying to move past security.
隨後,抗議者衝破國會大廈外圍設置的障礙,與身穿全套防暴裝備的警察扭打起來,他們稱警察為「叛徒」。
……hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers "traitors" for doing their jobs.
90分鐘後,抗議者闖進大樓,眾議院和參議院的大門被鎖上。隨後不久,眾議院樓層被警察疏散。
About 90 minutes later, police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked. Shortly after, the House floor was evacuated by police.
警察向抗議者噴射胡椒噴霧
在抗議者闖進美國國會時,有執法人員開槍。
經華盛頓特區警方確認,一名女子胸部中槍身亡。多名警員受傷,其中至少一名已被送入醫院。
抗議者還衝進眾議院議長佩洛西辦公室,坐在她椅子上擺拍。
隨後,副總統彭斯緊急撤離,議員們也被緊急疏散。
國會警察發出緊急通知:「由於大樓內部受到威脅,請在最近的辦公室避難並保持安靜。」
Police have alerted individuals to shelter in place, citing a "security threat inside the building."
拜登喊話川普:兌現承諾
川普推特帳號被封
隨後,拜登喊話川普:現在上國家電視臺,兌現承諾,捍衛憲法,結束這場暴力圍堵。
…Biden called on Trump to "go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the Constitution and demand an end to this siege" at the Capitol.
川普發布推特回應稱:我要求前往美國國會大廈的所有人保持和平。沒有暴力!請記住,我們是代表法律和秩序的黨派,尊重法律以及我們共和黨所有偉大的人。謝謝你們!
據美國國家公共電臺(NPR)報導,川普在推特上發布了一條視頻,要求人們回家。但他還在不斷重複毫無根據的說法——選舉是被偷來的,甚至鼓勵抗議者說「你們非常特別」。
He then posted a video on social media, asking people to go home — but not before reiterating his baseless claims about the election being stolen and saying: "You're very special."
事實上,就在此次暴力事件發生的幾小時之前,川普曾在白宮外對他的支持者進行午間講話,他一再否認選舉結果,毫無根據地聲稱他的競選活動遭到了不正當操縱。
His response to the violence came just a few hours after a midday address to supporters outside the White House in which he repeatedly denied the results of the election, claiming without evidence it was rigged against his campaign.
他還表示,「(拜登)這次當選是從你、從我、從國家偷來的。」 他敦促他的支持者前往國會大廈,並補充說:「你們如果軟弱就永遠無法奪回我們的國家。」
"This election was stolen from you, from me, from the country," he said in the earlier remarks. He also urged his supporters to head to the Capitol, adding: "You'll never take back our country with weakness."
推特官方稱,川普帳號由於違反推特規定,可能會被永久封號。這意味著在12小時內,該帳號會被封閉,移除涉嫌虛假消息的推文。若推文未被移除,帳號會依然會處於封閉狀態。外媒最新消息顯示,白宮表示已動用國民警衛隊平息抗議活動。五角大樓首席發言人喬納森·霍夫曼稱,大約有1100名華盛頓特區國民警衛隊已被動員,幫助聯邦執法部門鎮壓了暴力活動。The Washington D.C. National Guard force of about 1,100 was mobilized to help federal law enforcement tamp down the insurrection, according to chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.CNN援引一位官員的話稱,他們已成功將暴徒從參議院側翼趕到圓形大廳,正將他們從國會大廈的東西門趕出。The Senate floor has been cleared of rioters, and an officer told CNN that they have successfully squeezed them away from the Senate wing of the building and towards the Rotunda, and they are removing them out the East and West doors of the Capitol.中國日報(ID:chinadailywx)綜合CNN、NPR、NBC、環球網等報導
