Arizona politicians on both sides of the aisle made their thoughts known Wednesday as riots unfolded at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., while the certification of the Electoral College vote was underway.
Republicans and Democrats alike condemned the actions of the rioters, who broke into the Capitol and disrupted the constitutional process to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s win over Donald Trump.
Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey called for the riots to end immediately.
“In America, we practice peaceful transitions of power. We respect the law and law enforcement,” Ducey tweeted. “The scene at the United States Capitol right now is wrong and has no place in our form of government. All should denounce, and it should end now.”

Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, who issued an objection to Arizona’s Electoral College votes earlier Wednesday, also called for the riots to end.
