Lummis Condemns Violent Protesters

Newly seated Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis has strongly condemned the protest at the US Capitol. In tweets delivered the afternoon @SenLummis said “The First Amendment only protects peaceful assembly. Stop the Violence,” and ” Call it what it is: An attack on the Capitol is an attack on democracy. Today we are trying to use the democratic process to address grievances. This violence inhibits our ability to do that. Violent protests were unacceptable this summer and are unacceptable now.”
