Democrat Hank Johnson, who represents Georgia’s 4th U.S. House District, was on the House floor during what he called harrowing events in Washington, D.C., as a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.

Democratic Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia’s 6th Congressional District was sheltered in a secure location by the time protesters breached the Capitol.

Both are among the first to call for President Donald Trump’s removal under the 25th Amendment.
