Representative Conor Lamb gave warning yesterday that there is an ‘ongoing threat’ to the Capitol, stating that thousands of ‘armed patriots’ are ready to descend on Washington D.C. to prevent Democrats from impeaching Trump and said they have stated that they will use their weapons against members of Congress.

In a closed-door briefing on Monday, law enforcement informed lawmakers, according to Lamb, that an ‘organized group’ of 4,000 people will try to prevent Democrats from entering the Capitol.

He said this group of people considers themselves patriots and that they are following an already set ‘rules of engagement’ on when to shoot and take more serious action.

Lamb says these threats are serious, and they are not just something they are imagining could happen.
