On Wednesday, 6th January 2020, Trump supporters, during a MAGA rally, stormed the US Capitol in Washington D.C, sending the building into lockdown. The riots were to protest the ratification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory over the president in the 2020 election.

This act at US Capitol has led Mark Zuckerberg to freeze social media handles of Donald Trump. Which seems like an appropriate action, however, the violence has caused chaos among people around the world.

This definitely didn’t sit well with people especially the music industry who’s always been vocal about things like this. Many took to their social media to voice their embarrassment and anger towards these violent protests at US Capitol.

Here Are Some Of The Reactions To The Same.

Cardi B:

Where the National guards ?

Stevie Wonder:

I am heartbroken and astounded that this narcissistic and dangerous president would put lives in danger and encourage violent sedition against our government. That man is no longer able to serve as President because he can't accept defeat. Can we afford 2 more weeks? I say NO!

P!nk:

As a United States Citizen, and the daughter of two veterans, and the sister of another, I am ashamed of what is happening in Washington. Hypocrisy, shame,
Embarrassment. Unpatriotic hypocritical sheep drinking poison Kool aid. This a sad day for America.

John Legend:

Anyone who voted for this tragic shitty narcissist mess of a president bears responsibility for this debacle today. He has shown you exactly who he was all along. You still supported him. You are complicit in the attempted destruction of the country. You are not a patriot.

My heart is broken. It makes me to sad to believe how naive I was to think this couldn’t possibly happen, and yet it did. Here we are. For everyone in my comments saying “where’s d7” or wanting me to sing instead of speaking up about what needs to change in this country… pic.twitter.com/md5XPFmj2B
