President Donald Trump and his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., condemned violence on Wednesday after supporters of the president stormed the U.S. Capitol.

“This is wrong and not who we are,” Trump Jr. posted to Twitter, minutes before his father offered condemnation. “Be peaceful and use your 1st Amendment rights, but don’t start acting like the other side. We have a country to save and this doesn’t help anyone.”
