House Minority Whip Steve Scalise weighed-in Thursday after thousands of violent protesters stormed the US Capitol building; saying the complex was ultimately “overrun by anarchists and terrorists.”
“It was a very disturbing day yesterday. You know I had a lot of anger and so many of my colleagues that the Capitol got overrun. These were anarchists and terrorists,” Scalise told “Fox & Friends.”
“There is no place for it, and all of us that were unequivocal yesterday, just like we were unequivocal during the summer that there is no place in this country to resort to violence, to solve differences, that is not who we are in as a country,” Scalise said.

“It was critical as some of my other colleagues have said that we had to take the House back and come to work last night and we did and that was a big focus of the day, when the Capitol had gotten overrun, we had to get it back,” Scalise said.

SCALISE ON HANNITY: Democrats Couldn’t Make Their Case ‘Because There Was No Crime’
Sean Hannity slammed the House Democrats’ never-ending impeachment fantasy Monday night; saying it’s now time for the Senate to do their job.
“The House impeached the President. That’s their role. Now the Senate does their job. Are you concerned about them trying to fix what the Democrats screwed up?” asked Hannity.
“They’ve shown it’s very personal. They had their chance to make their case. They brought in witness after witness. We were denied that. Their own star witnesses went under oath,” said Rep. Steve Scalise.
“Now they want more witnesses? It’s not the Senate’s job to mop up the mess in the House. They couldn’t make their case because there was no crime,” he added.

SCALISE ON HANNITY: President Trump is ‘Following Through on His Word’ with Foreign Policy
GOP Rep. Steve Scalilse stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night; praising President Trump for “following through on his word” with America’s foreign policy in the Middle East and global war on terror.
“He’s following through on his words. He’s been a man of actions; taking on ISIS, confronting problems that Obama created. Then you have Nancy Pelosi trying to criticize the President for problems she enabled,” said Rep. Scalise.
Scalise slammed the Democrats’ latest impeachment push earlier this week; accusing them of using “soviet style tactics” to silence Republicans.
“Adam Schiff’s opening statement, he didn’t read the transcript from the whistleblower, he read his own version. A false version. It shows how unserious they are about this process,” said Scalise.
“It also shows that they continue to mislead the American people and hide what the real facts are… Members of Congress should be able to see it… These kind of Soviet style tactics shouldn’t be allowed,” he added.
House Democrats are engaged in “Soviet style” tactics in their effort to attack @realDonaldTrump.
