It seems that Ariel Pink and John Maus attended yesterday's (6 January) protests that saw a mob of Trump supporters storm Capitol Hill in Washington D.C..

Yesterday (6 January) the shocking news of the Capitol Hill 'protests' emerged, showing a mob of riled up Trump supporters storming the United States Capitol, which reportedly resulted in four deaths.

It seems that musicians Ariel Pink and John Maus attended the violent protests with filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer, who posted a picture of the three of them at a hotel via her Instagram, writing, "the day we almost died but instead had a great time."

Video footage of Maus in the crowd outside the US Capitol has also been posted online, and Ariel Pink seemed to confirm his political views after the protests. He wrote on Twitter, "welcome to the panoptigan. they wasted no time...save yourselves friends, cancel me now and turn me in before they come for you."

In a second tweet he added, "vote for trump."

Last night (6 January) Demi Lovato revealed she was recording new music in response to the riots, writing, "I’m in the studio working on something special after today’s assault on democracy."
