The unrest left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer who was reportedly struck in the head by a fire extinguisher. Trump is losing support from his inner circle, with Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao both resigning before the end of Trump\u2019s term. The chief of the Capitol Police is also expected to resign next week, as multiple reports reveal police officers aiding rioters, from removing barricades to giving out direction to the offices of specific lawmakers. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna says Republicans must support efforts to remove Trump, especially as much of Trump\u2019s incitement targeted Republican lawmakers who refused to back his false claims of election fraud. \u201cThis was not an attack just on Democratic lawmakers. If anything, it was an incitement of violence against Republican lawmakers,\u201d says Khanna.<\/p>\n<p>#DemocracyNow<\/p>\n<p>Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1,400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
