Elsewhere, another photo, posted by Nick Thompson, Wired editor-in-chief on Twitter, shows a group of rioters in MAGA hats taking selfies in the Senate Chamber.
This will go down in one of the craziest photos in American history. The scattered papers indicating a rushed departure. The posing for a selfie. The MAGA, terrorist, and Daniel Boone aesthetic. WTF is going on with America rn? pic.twitter.com/FxeKoDW3bO

President Trump urged supporters to "go home" in a video that simultaneously claimed false victory.
“I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order."
Meanwhile, a source told CNN that the rioters' goal is to occupy the Capitol through the night. The DC National Guard has been activated by the Department of Defense.
