Los Angeles, CA–Trump supporters headed to Downtown Los Angeles today, after hearing the news of their counterparts storming the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. A group of Trump protesters gained entry into the building, running Congress out of congressional chambers as they counted the Electoral College Votes.
