Trump Backers Protest Peacefully at Florida Capitol

TALLAHASSEE -- In addition to the protests that turned violent at the U-S Capitol, other groups gathered to support President Trump's election claims at state capitals around the country. About 100 people gathered at the Florida Capitol building in Tallahassee.

Chris Clure, who drove up from Clearwater, insisted the election was rigged. “It’s evident that they stole it. Dead people were voting. They pushed the mail-in ballots, just so that they could rob us. It’s evident to most Americans.”

Lawmakers weren't in session at the state Capitol and there were no reports of unrest in Tallahassee.
