BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

This is exactly what Nazi’s do!
What was the supposed reason for arresting the demonstrators? Isn't it a public building?
Whaa? I thought Trump was losing his shit over anti-Christian bias?

FIGHT POVERTY NOT THE POOR!!
Isn't this anti-Christian bias? Someone call Pam Bondi
When did it become illegal to speak inside a public building?
Way way waymint: i thought we were bringing prayer back to govment.
I said last week that we were 2-3 weeks away from our first outright political prisoner.
Please keep reporting. This must not go unpublished.
That one woman’s vest says “USCP Crime Scene”???!
☝️HEY! OVER HERE! I think I found some of that anti-Christian bias they're looking for
Are those really Capitol Hill Police???
The irony, and the symbolism, of Rev. Barber being arrested while praying in the Capitol Rotunda, directly in front of the Portrait Monument honoring Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott (women who themselves were once jailed and ridiculed for demanding rights) is profound.

What amazes me is that their hypocrisy doesn’t seem to break through to their cult.
Were they wearing their brown shirts?
Maybe if they had broken some windows or defeated in the halls they would have allowed them?

So the first amendment is no longer in place?
