Celebrities have taken to Twitter to express their fury after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol on January 6. Senators and Congressmen inside the building, along with Vice President Mike Pence, were forced to evacuate as hundreds of protestors broke past police and security barricades, attempting to get into the Senate chambers.
