WASHINGTON (KTNV) — Scripps reporter Joe St. George spoke with the Good Morning Las Vegas team a day after vandalism and rioting occurred at the Capitol.
The U.S. Capitol was placed on lockdown on Wednesday after demonstrators got past law enforcement and breached the Capitol building during a joint session to confirm Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

Officials were able to secure the Capitol nearly four hours after pro-Trump rioters stormed the building and Congress reconvened.
President-elect Joe Biden’s victory was confirmed early Thursday morning in the joint session of Congress, but not before a historic interruption by violent protesters that disrupted the counting of Electoral College votes for six hours.
