Capitol chaos: The scene at the U.S. Capitol looked different Wednesday as police had guns drawn in the House chamber. Other footage from the day's events showed people in Trump gear; with Trump flags, Confederate flags and other banners approaching the Capitol steps. Local party leaders Kuns and Langston called for finding a degree of common ground. Show appreciation: This Saturday we celebrate the men and women in blue who protect our communities daily.
