Protesters flooded the Ohio State Capitol in Columbus yesterday, waving flags and carrying “Stop the Steal” signs.

WBNS reported violence broke out at the events with different protester and counter-protester factions punching and pushing each other. 

A group of protesters from northern Ohio were allegedly instrumental in overwhelming the U.S. Capitol Building. 

Across the country, protesters marched at their statehouses. In Minnesota, there were cheers when the Capitol news broke. In New Mexico, the state police had to evacuate staff as a precaution. 

In Utah, Gov. Spencer Cox sent home hundreds of protesters. There was at least one person arrested in Oregon and a peaceful rally in Kansas had supporters filing into the statehouse through security checkpoints and walking around historical exhibits.

In Hawaii, protesters lined the road near the capitol building and waved American flags and Trump 2020 flags.

There were also protesters in South Carolina, but they left the statehouse before the attack occurred at the U.S. Capitol.
