Hollywood is speaking out after protestors managed to breach the Capitol on Wednesday.
The chaos resulted in one protestor being fatally shot as lawmakers remained barricaded inside and evacuations quickly commenced, the Metro Police Department in Washington D.C. relayed to Fox News.
The violence erupted as lawmakers were in the process of certifying the Electoral College votes won by President-elect Joe Biden. They were told to put on gas masks and barricade inside as law enforcement officers tried to restore order.
Celebrities immediately took to Twitter as the shocking scenes unfolded, with Ashton Kutcher urging in a tweet on Wednesday for people to "Support the peaceful transition of power!!!!!!!!"

Furthermore, "The Patriot" actor Jason Isaacs was among those who pointed to the double-standard related to protests surrounding the death of George Floyd at the knee of a Minneapolis police officer on May 25 and what transpired on Wednesday.
"Last June peaceful protestors against a racist murder were beaten and gassed near the Capitol," he tweeted. "Today Trump thugs stormed the building unchallenged, directly from a rally where he deliberately stoked their violence with lies. May he be flushed round the U-bend of history forever."
Actress Yvette Nicole Brown echoed the sentiments of Isaacs in her own tweet.

"And now they’re all just being allowed to leave. Is that what I’m seeing?" Brown wrote. "They breached the Capitol, entered offices and left with Lord knows what state secrets & incited violence and yet: No arrests. Not a one. WOW."
