Trump supporters opposing the Biden administration taking over the responsibilities of the White House staged violent protests to stop Congress from ratifying the Electoral College vote. The situation got violent as these protesters scaled the walls of the White House and stormed the building.

The rioters brought guns and Molotov cocktails (makeshift bomb) into the White House.

The situation had grown so violent, the Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser had to declare a public emergency for public safety.

 

People in the White House with guns was definitely one thing The Simpsons predicted.
