Throughout yesterday and this morning, like us, celebrities watched with the rest of the world as Pro-Trump protesters attacked this nation’s democracy at the Capitol.

Via Twitter, many stars shared commentary about the chaos that ensued yesterday in Washington D.C. They included their thoughts, opinions, feelings, and theories. Many shared similar sentiments, including disappointment and confusion regarding the seemingly toned-down and unprepared handling of the violent rioters. They was also sadness when comparing that behavior to the treatment many Black Lives Matter peaceful protesters received last summer.

Across the spectrum of actors, musicians, athletes, and the like, celebs have been in utter disbelief about what America has come to.

Regina King

Actress Regina King was on Jimmy Kimmel last night when she shared her thoughts about the day’s events. She told the late-night host, “I tuned in to people being escorted with pitchforks and being escorted down down the steps after protesting very calmly by police officers after they had broken windows and yeah, ‘The Divided States of America.'”

She followed up with the same sentiment on her Twitter account.

“Welcome to the DSA. The Divided States of America,” she tweeted with two side-by-side photos. One depicted a Black man in a suit, seemingly being forcibly handled by law enforcement officials. The other photo showed a white man walking freely in the Capitol building holding up a confederate flag.
