美國首都暴動英文:

 

Washington DC transformed into a fortress

As dawn broke over the Capitol this morning, it was an unimaginable sight. Troop carriers

Disgorging the National Guard – being handed rifles and riot shields.

In the hallowed marble halls of Congress, soldiers slept. In one corner they huddled under a

bust of the civil war president, Abraham Lincoln.

Impeachment 2.0 is different from last year’s iteration. For a start, the congressional chamber

where this is being heard is also the crime scene; where the Trump supporting mob descended

last week. And unlike last year, this isn’t about some call to a Ukrainian politician about a gas

company no one had heard of. This is about an assault on the sacred heart of US democracy.

 

Last time around every Republican voted as a block to back the president. Not likely today.

A number have said they are going to vote to impeach, and tellingly there has not been a single

Republican voice defending Donald Trump, merely a questioning of the process.

Airbnb announced today that it was cancelling all bookings in Washington for next week, as have

some hotels, to stop potential rioters from coming to town.

The nation’s capital is being transformed into a citadel.

Pelosi: 'It should break your heart'

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) (C) wears a protective mask while walking to the House Floor at the U.S. Capitol on January 13, 2021.

More from Pelosi.

"The president must be convicted by the Senate that will ensure the Republic will be safe from this man who is so resolutely determined to tear down the things we hold dear and that hold us together," she says.

Pelosi adds that it breaks her heart to be at yet another impeachment session.

"It should break your heart. It should break all of our hearts."

She says this move is "not motivated by partisanship".

"I stand before you as an officer of the Constitution, as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter - a daughter whose father proudly served in this Congress."

 She asks lawmakers for some soul searching. "Is the president's war on democracy in keeping with the Constitution?"

Pelosi concludes: "My fellow Americans, we cannot escape history. Let us fulfill our duty and honour the trust of our nation."
