    Photos: Hollywood stars condemn violence at US Capitol

    Celebrities such as Cardi B, Edward Norton and Issa Rae tweeted about their frustration

    As a mob of violent pro-Trump extremists descended on the US Capitol Building Wednesday, Hollywood figures condemned the “terrorists” and criticized the police response — or lack thereof — to the ongoing insurrection. Image Credit: Agencies

    Issa Rae (pictured), Josh Gad, Karamo Brown, Ava DuVernay, Edward Norton, Shonda Rhimes and other entertainment luminaries were among the many who expressed their outrage at the situation in Washington, DC, on social media. Some called for the arrest of President Trump, who instigated the violence with unfounded claims of election fraud. Image Credit: Taylor Jewell/Invision/AP

    “Shame on the news referring to these Domestic Terrorist as ‘Trump Supporters’ as if they are peaceful people supporting a president,” tweeted “Queer Eye” star Brown. “These are terrorist w/ visible guns! Imagine if they were Middle Eastern or Black... they would not be called supporters & they wouldn’t be alive.” Image Credit: GN Archives

    Several pointed out a disparity in treatment of Black Lives Matter protesters — who were repeatedly beaten, pelted with rubber bullets and tear-gassed by police over the summer — versus the pro-Trump rioters, who overwhelmed security upon breaking into the Capitol. “If armed people of color; black, Latino, Muslim- stormed the US Capitol to disrupt the transfer of power following an election, there’d be no ‘tear gas & rubber bullets phase’ of the response. They’d be shot dead before they got 10 steps into the grounds,” Norton tweeted. Image Credit: REUTERS

    “I was chased and run through tear gas demonstrating against the war in the 70s. What the police DIDN’T do today was shocking. They sure were ready during the BLM demos which was peaceful,” actor Micheal Keaton posted. Image Credit: Brent N. Clarke/Invision/AP

    Actress Alyssa Milano referred back to a July 27, 2020, Trump tweet where he called for all “Anarchists, Agitators or Protestors who vandalize or damage our Federal Courthouse in Portland, or any Federal Buildings” to be prosecuted and sentenced to a minimum 10 years in prison.

    “This Is Us” star Susan Kelechi Watson noted that Black victims of police brutality — such as Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin and George Floyd — have been killed by authorities without committing anything near the threats waged on the Capitol Wednesday. “Eric was selling loose cigarettes,” Watson tweeted. “Philando reaching for his identification. Trayon [sic] was walking through a neighborhood with skittles. George allegedly had a counterfeit $20. Anarchy in the capitol and law enforcement spent the first hour with their hands in their pockets. Ok.” Image Credit: REUTERS

    Rapper Cardi B, who has been vocal about her politics in the past, tweeted: “The irony is pretty funny.........weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now? [Thinking face emoji]......Let me just watch.” Image Credit:
