OLYMPIA (AP) — Pro-Trump protesters broke through a gate at governor’s Inslee’s mansion this afternoon and dozens of people gathered on the lawn. The crowd, some of whom were armed, touted repeated allegations of election fraud and it came the same day pro-Trump protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Via Twitter, the State Patrol said authorities were responding and that Gov. Inslee “and his family are in a safe location.”
WSP said the group did not break into the governor’s residence and left the property roughly 30 minutes after breaching the gate.
The demonstration has now moved back to public property at the Olympia Capitol while a smaller group continues to rally.
