  • Donald Trump said 'we love you' to rioters on Capitol Hill

"Enemies of democracy" is the reaction that comes up the most among the American stars who followed the attack on the Capitol with the support of Donald Trump yesterday.

The President of the United States, who still refuses to recognize his defeat in the elections against Joe Biden, had called on his supporters to protest in front of this place symbol of the country's democracy, while the elected officials validated the victory of the Democratic candidate.

A situation that quickly escalated, with pro-Trump rioters invading the Capitol, ransacking the building and offices, and strutting with Confederate flags when others brought crosses and gallows in reference to the Ku Klux Klan.

A woman died in what Joe Biden called an "insurgency".

In response, Donald Trump sent a message to his supporters.

“We were robbed of the election.

I know your pain, but go home.

We love you, you are very special, ”he said in a video recorded from the gardens of the White House, posted on Twitter.

The stars have unanimously condemned this act of "internal terrorism", even Karlie Kloss, whose brother-in-law is none other than Jared Kushner, the husband of Ivanka Trump.

After writing on Twitter that

"To refuse the result of an election and incite violence" is "anti-American", she was questioned by several Internet users reminding her of her links with the current tenants of the White House and asking her if she had conveyed her message to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

Answer: "I tried".

I've tried

" Rebellion "

Alyssa Milano, for her part, denounced an “attempted coup to keep a reality TV star in power”.

Cardi B noted the "irony" of the situation as "those who demanded justice" during the summer at Black Lives Matter protests, were called "animals" by supporters of Donald Trump.

A parallel also drawn by Chloë Grace Moretz who was also surprised at the under-representation of the police to contain the rioters on the Capitol compared to the forces deployed in the demonstrations demanding justice after the deaths of several African-Americans.

The 25th Amendment

Singer Pink has expressed her "shame" as "the daughter of two veterans and sister of another".

Mark Ruffalo called the rioters "enemies of democracy", before asking, in another tweet, to trigger the 25th Amendment.

The Hulk interpreter was followed in his request by Stevie Wonder.

It is time for the leaders of this country to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Isn't it obvious?

Today has made me sad with disbelief with what is happening in my country, a country that has inspired my songs of hope and love.

“It is time for the leaders of this country to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Isn't that obvious?

Today made me sad and incredulous in the face of what is happening to my country, a country that has inspired me with songs of hope and love ”, he published.

The 25th Amendment can be triggered when the President or Vice President of the United States is no longer in a position to lead the country.

An amendment that

House of Cards

fans

 know, since this is how Vice President Frank Underwood's character comes to power in the White House.

Selena Gomez, for her part, again accused part of the GAFA of having allowed such an escalation by "allowing people with hate in their hearts to use" their platforms.

“Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Sunda Pichai, Susan Wojcicki - you all failed the American people today and I hope you will fix that,” he said. she writes.

A message obviously heard - a little late perhaps - since Twitter suspended Donald Trump's account for 12 hours, threatening to ban him from its network, and Facebook withdrew its video of support for the rioters.
