“There is no excuse for violence. Whatever political party or affiliation one belongs to, causing chaos and wreaking havoc on democratic institutions is unacceptable. The freedoms of expression and to peaceably assemble to protest can only be protected by consistent application of the law and condemning all forms of violence.”
Edwin Josue, real estate businessman
“America is the bastion of democracy and the leader of the free world that teaches other nations to subscribe to it. But what’s happening now is a disgrace, a humiliation for America’s core values. Pathetic. Republicans are to blame for not impeaching Trump. Now look at what he has done to this country.”
Lumen Castaneda, retired school teacher
“First, get the president to ORDER the supporters to go home or move them away from the capitol; 2nd, ARREST THE GUILTY and haul them to jail; the police should keep their stand and be strict. No friends or whoever.”
Licelle Cobrador, Esq.
“Those who stormed the Capitol and resorted to violence to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power made a mockery of democracy.”
Ailyn Soco, tax accountant
“I totally agree with what Senator Mitt Romney said today – “the best way for us to show respect to the voters who are upset is to tell them the truth.” Donald Trump lost and Joseph Biden won the elections. The only way out of this is for the leaders of this country to tell their constituents the truth. Trump supporters should not be fed with lies and misinformation.”
Xiomara Demeterio-Glindmeyer, graphic artist
“The events today shook me to my core. I never even cried during the 9/11 attacks. But today I wept for America. The attack on her was perpetuated by Americans against Americans, incited by a selfish man who held the highest office. My feelings went beyond anger. It was heartbreaking for a country that I have considered my home. The attack desecrated the noble efforts of our founding fathers, compromised the integrity of our national security, and trivialized the sacrifices of men and women who fought and died to preserve our freedom and Constitution. This is why mercy is often denied to people who commit treason. And let there be none.”
Sasha Palo, nurse
“How on Earth is this bullshit normalized? Invoke the 25th Amendment and just secede. Radical accountability needs to happen for Trump and his MAGA zealots. Billions upon billions of dollars in defense spending year to year and the capitol building gets successfully stormed by a bunch of inbred seditious yokels? My local bodega has better security than this.”
Loida Nicolas-Lewis, businesswoman, lawyer, philanthropist
“We survived the terrorist attack on the Capitol! Thanks be to God and Joe Biden’s impassioned plea to this Liar in Chief to stop the madness. Only then did Trump send to his Twitter feed his « Go home now. I love you. « He should be removed from office before he does more damage to our nation.”
Connie Huynh, AF3IRM National Chairperson
“The storming of the the US Capitol is a brazen display of male supremacy and entitlement. The terrorist force was called on by Donald Trump to fan his ego as he refused to accept NO in his quest for a second term. Trump and his militia are continuing to speak over the votes and voices of Black, Indigenous, and women of color.”
Dolly Ilogon, radio commentator
“An assault to democracy with the blessing of the President who’s supposed to safeguard the US constitution is so hard to fathom. The attack at Capitol where the state legislators were deliberating the certification of the Electoral college votes was indeed an assault to the Constitution. I never thought I’d see the day when democracy in America would be attacked or threatened. I thought this happens only in third world countries like the Philippines. I wouldn’t be surprised but not here in the USA. As always, an attempt to hijack democracy will always fail. Freedom will prevail. President Trump will go down history as the president who tried to incite an insurrection, the president who failed to preserve and protect the Constitution. Oh, what a legacy!#
