Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo, is one of those senators who has been demanding an audit on this year’s presidential election race results.

Despite her stand on challenging the Electoral College votes, she disapproves of the forceful entry of Trump supporters to the Capitol building.

“Call it what it is: An attack on the Capitol is an attack on democracy,” Sen. Lummis wrote on Twitter. “Today we are trying to use the democratic process to address grievances. This violence inhibits our ability to do that. Violent protests were unacceptable this summer and are unacceptable now.”

Rioters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon to show their support to Trump who has been insistently claiming that the election was stolen.

Lummis was one of the senators that President Trump thanked during his address to his followers at their “Save America Rally.”

In his speech, he encouraged the people to go down the Capitol and demonstrate against Congress.

“So, we are going to -- we are going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue,” Trump said. “I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give -- the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote but we are going to try -- give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help, we're try--going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So, let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.”
