The FBI spoke with Florida law enforcement on a conference call Wednesday to prepare for possible unrest and protests throughout the state Sunday, days before President Trump departs the White House.

The agency said it has not received specific intelligence about demonstrations in Tallahassee, the Miami Herald reported, but still shared security information to help brace for protests.

"As we do in the normal course of business, we are gathering information to identify any potential threats and are sharing that information with our partners," the FBI said in a statement to the newspaper. "The FBI respects the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights. Our focus is not on peaceful protesters, but on those threatening their safety and the safety of other citizens with violence and destruction of property."

Messages to the FBI were not returned.

Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6 as lawmakers were certifying President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College win. The chaos ended with five people dead and dozens of arrests.

An internal FBI memo recently warned of plans for armed protests in all 50 state capitals ahead of Biden's Jan. 20 inauguration.

Federal law enforcement agencies warned that violent extremist activity will continue to surge and pose "the greatest domestic terrorism threat in 2021, a bulletin released Wednesday said.

In Tallahassee, police Chief Lawrence Revell said that officials were not aware of any threats against the state Capitol. However, law enforcement is preparing for the possibility of violence, he said.

"We do not have any specific intelligence," Revell said, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. "But the national narrative is going around, and we are preparing and planning for that as well. We have no specifics for Tallahassee."

The city has not issued permits for protests through Inauguration Day. Nevertheless, city officials are expecting protesters to show up at the Capitol.

Miami-Dade authorities said they have not heard anything that would indicate possible unrest.

"We are seeing the general calls for marches on the Capitol and all 50 state capitols," said Armando Aguilar Jr., assistant chief for the Miami Police Department. "What we aren't seeing is anything specifically directed at Tallahassee or anything locally."

Detectives still are monitoring social media sites to pick up signs of potential threats, Aguilar said.

"We're monitoring social media for discussions on what might pop up locally," Aguilar said. "We're just making sure that on paper, we're ready. We'll have enough people on duty and able to respond if a threat arises.

The attack on Capitol Hill may have been worse than it seemed. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has come out and said that she and many others were in situations where they truly though they were going to be killed. Even in their safe location, democratic reps were worried that republicans would disclose their location to the rioters.

COVID-19 nurse wins improbable $1 million lottery prize. A COVID-19 nurse at a long-term care facility in North Carolina has won a $1 million prize in the state lottery.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"I thought that it was a scam. I was a little upset actually!" she recalled.

A COVID-19 nurse at a long-term care facility in North Carolina has won a $1 million prize in the state lottery.

Terri Watkins from Durham, North Carolina, received a call informing her that she had won the million-dollar prize on Jan. 13 and her initial reaction to winning was complete disbelief.

"I thought that it was a scam. I was a little upset actually!" she recalled laughing. "I thought that it was not real, couldn't be real.

Watkins, a nurse who works in the COVID unit of a long-term care facility in Durham, had a one in more than 513,000 chance in the final $300,000,000 Supreme Riches drawing on Wednesday.

"Just seeing some of the things that I've had to see, I am very thankful," Watkins said according to a statement released by the North Carolina Education Lottery. "I had been praying for something to help me with this situation. It really is a great thing. I'm very blessed."

The North Carolina Education Lottery said that ticket sales from scratch-offs make it possible for the lottery to raise over $725 million a year for education in the state.

When asked about what her plans are following her improbably win, Watkins wasted no time coming up with ideas.

"I'm just gonna take it slow and easy and figure out what I'm gonna do," said Watkins. "I would love a new home, but I've just got to take time and put it in the right place."

Watkins made the decision to take a lump sum of $600,000 -- $424,500 after required state and federal tax withholdings -- rather than the $1 million as an annuity of $50,000 a year over 20 years.

She had the option to take the $1 million prize as an annuity of 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. She chose the lump sum and took home $424,500 after required state and federal tax withholdings. She claimed her prize Thursday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Said Watkins: "It's still something that I really don't believe, I'm still in some shock here."

On Saturday, around 1:50 p.m. David Brown began his shooting spree in Chicago with a 30 year old college student who was pronounced dead at the scene. He then shot a female security guard and a 77 year old woman getting her mail. The security woman has been pronounced dead but the 77 year old woman remains in critical health. He continues his spree until he was later shot by the police and had left 4 people dead.

Four people are dead, including the suspect, after an hourslong shooting spree across the Chicago area.

The bloodshed began Saturday at 1:50 p.m. when a man entered a parking lot on South East End Avenue in Chicago and shot a 30-year-old man who was sitting inside a car, according to the Chicago Police Department. The victim, a student at the University of Chicago, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect then entered an apartment building on the same street around 2 p.m. and fired shots at a female security guard, who was shot in the chest, as well as a 77-year-old woman who was retrieving her mail, police said. They were both transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where the security guard was pronounced dead and the 77-year-old woman remains in critical condition.

"He proceeded to walk into the building and I think she told him he had to leave the building and then he shot her," a neighbor told ABC Chicago station WLS. "So then she began to run and he shot her again."

The security guard had worked in the building for years and had two children, the neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told the station.

The suspect then went to another building on South East End Avenue around 2:45 p.m. and pulled a gun on a man he knew, police said. The suspect pushed the victim into his apartment, demanded his car keys, and fled the location in the car.

Around 3:45 p.m., the suspect entered a CVS store on South Halsted Street and announced a robbery, police said. The suspect fired at people inside the store and struck a 20-year-old man in the head and an 81-year-old woman in the back and head. They were both taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where the man was pronounced dead and the woman remains in critical condition, according to police.

The suspect then fled the scene in a vehicle, police said.

At about 5 p.m., a 15-year-old girl was shot in the head as she was riding in the back of a car being driven by a family member on South Halsted Street, police said. The teen is in critical condition at the Comer Children's Hospital, police said. It is unclear where the suspect was located when he fired the gun.

Minutes later, the suspect returned to the area near the CVS on South Halsted Street and shot at the crime scene, striking a Chicago Police Department car, police said.

The suspect was later shot by officers from the Evanston Police Department after he went into a store on Howard Street and Western Avenue in Evanston, announced a robbery, and fled to a nearby IHOP, where he shot a woman in the head he had taken hostage, police said. The woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died, police said.

After the suspect was shot, he attempted to flee and collapsed, police said.

The suspect was identified by Chicago Police Chief David Brown as 32-year-old Jason Nightengale.

Nightengale died from the gunshot wound he sustained during a shootout with Evanston police. Brown did not give a motive for the shooting but commended Evanston police officers for stopping further carnage.

"But for the brave conduct of Evanston police officers confronting this suspect, many more people would've been injured," Brown said.

Nightengale had previous arrests beginning in 2005 for charges of gun and drug violations, criminal trespassing, theft, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless conduct and domestic violence, WLS reported.

His most recent arrest involved a domestic battery charge in October 2019, according to the station.

The University of Chicago released a statement, saying the death of one of its student is "deeply painful" for the community.

The remaining victims are in the process of being identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
ABC News' Matt Foster and Ahmad Hemingway contributed to this report.

Ms Babbitt, 35, was among the mob which breached the US Capitol on Wednesday. She has been identified by US Capitol Police as one of five people who died amid the chaos. A veteran of the US Air Force, Ms Babbitt served two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq before later deployments with the National Guard to Kuwait and Qatar.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The day before she died, Ashli Babbitt wrote on social media about the upcoming gathering of Trump supporters in the US capital.

"Nothing will stop us," she wrote. "They can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours."

Ms Babbitt, 35, was among the mob which breached the US Capitol on Wednesday. She has been identified by US Capitol Police as one of five people who died amid the chaos.

A veteran of the US Air Force, Ms Babbitt served two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq before later deployments with the National Guard to Kuwait and Qatar, her ex-husband Timothy McEntee told US media.

A native of San Diego, California, Ms Babbitt had recently remarried, and worked at a pool service company with her husband, Aaron Babbitt.

On social media, she described herself as a libertarian and a patriot. She posted frequently about President Donald Trump, expressing ardent support for the president and echoing his unproven claims of wide-scale voter fraud.

"She had a personality that you either loved or hated," Mr McEntee told NPR. "She wasn't apologetic about it... she was proud of it, just like she was proud of her country and proud to be an American."

In September, she posted a photo from a boat parade for Mr Trump in San Diego wearing a shirt that said "We are Q" - referring to QAnon - the far-right, completely unfounded conspiracy theory that says Mr Trump is battling a clandestine war against Satan-worshipping paedophiles.

For a period, Ms Babbitt was also a supporter of President Barack Obama. In a November 2018 Twitter exchange first reported by Bellingcat, Ms Babbitt said she had voted for Mr Obama, a Democrat, calling him "our president".

"I think Obama did great things," she wrote. "I think he did do a lot of good...at a time where we needed him."

But Ms Babbitt "could not" vote for Hillary Clinton, she said, going for Mr Trump instead.

Days before this week's demonstrations, she wrote on Twitter that she would be in Washington for Mr Trump's so-called Stop the Steal rally.

"I will be in DC on the 6th!" she wrote. "God bless America and WWG1WGA" - using an abbreviation common among QAnon supporters.

Her mother-in-law, Robin Babbitt, told a local Fox station that her son did not join his wife the rally.

"I really don't know why she decided to do this," she said.

In a video posted online, a woman believed to be Ashli Babbitt is seen with a Make America Great Again flag draped around her shoulders amid a crowd of rioters inside the Capitol building, attempting to get through a set of locked doors. A member of Capitol Police is seen in another video holding a gun toward the group.

The woman is then seen climbing onto a ledge next to the door. Almost immediately, a loud bang is heard and she is filmed falling to the ground.

In a statement, Capitol Police said that a United States Capitol Police employee fired their service weapon, striking an adult female "as protesters were forcing their way toward the House Chamber where Members of Congress were sheltering in place".

Ms Babbitt was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound and died later that evening, police said. The officer who shot her has been placed on administrative leave but has not been identified.

Ms Babbitt's mother-in-law told US media that she was devastated by the news. "I'm numb," she told the New York Post. "Nobody from DC notified my son and we found out on TV."

Before moving to California, where she ran a pool supply company with family members, Ms Babbitt had worked security for a nuclear plant near Washington DC.

In 2016, while living in Maryland, she was charged with reckless endangerment after hitting another woman's car repeatedly in an incident described by authorities as "road rage". She was eventually acquitted.

Family members say that after leaving the military after 14 years, she felt newly freed to express herself on social media, where she frequently ranted against immigrants, Democrats and coronavirus safety measures.

"If you feel like you gave the majority of your life to your country and you're not being listened to, that is a hard pill to swallow. That's why she was upset."

Four other people died during Wednesday's riots.

He later collapsed in his division office and was taken to hospital.

The remaining three had travelled to Washington for the demonstration and are believed to have died in separate "medical emergencies" on the grounds of the Capitol.

Benjamin Phillips, 50, organised for a group of Pennsylvanians to travel together to Washington. The night before the protest, he hosted some supporters at his apartment.

A computer-programmer, he set up a social media site for Trump supporters.

Also at the event was 55-year-old Kevin Greeson from Alabama. His family told AL.com in a statement that he had suffered a heart attack while in Washington.

A staunch Trump supporter, he had reportedly been active on Parler, a self-styled "free speech" social media site popular with conservatives.

Police also confirmed the death of Rosanne Boyland, 34, from Georgia. A statement from her brother-in-law Justin Cave said the family were still trying to figure out the details of her death.

"I've never tried to be a political person but it's my own personal belief that the president's words incited a riot that killed four of his biggest fans last night," Mr Cave told a local CBS station.

Trump claimed that he would not attend the inauguration of President-elect Biden. He's facing a lot pressure to resign or get impeached. If he is impeached, he will be the first president ever to be impeached twice.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Donald Trump on Friday found himself under the most extreme political pressure he has faced during his presidency -- with just 12 days left in office -- under calls to resign and facing the possibility of becoming the first president to be impeached twice.

Trying to contain the backlash to his calling on supporters to march on the Capitol, resulting in a mob launching a deadly insurrection, he issued a scripted video message Thursday evening condemning the rioters after initially praising them amid the aftermath Wednesday as "great patriots."

Then, Friday morning, after also saying "my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power," he said he would not attend the inauguration of his soon-to-be successor, President-elect Joe Biden.

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th," Trump tweeted Friday morning.

Democrats on Capitol Hill, after calling for his immediate removal from office under the 25th Amendment, moved closer Friday to starting quick impeachment proceedings. Some congressional Republicans would not rule out supporting Trump's removal.

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board said Trump should resign.

Conflicting messages from Trump

Nearly 30 hours after the storming of the Capitol, Trump on Thursday night shared a video message condemning the violence but taking no responsibility for egging on the rioters.

"America is and must always be a nation of law and order, the demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy," Trump said in the video posted to Twitter, which the day before had locked his account. "To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction. You do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law. You will pay."

The president's clearer condemnation Thursday night stood in stark contrast to his hours-long silence throughout the day, as well as his refusal on Wednesday to tell his supporters to leave the Capitol until hours had passed. Even then, he told them, "We love you," and, "You're very special."

The president's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, both senior White House advisers, pushed Trump to record the second video after they had received calls from members of Congress and other allies imploring them to get the president to do more, according to people familiar with their involvement.

The White House counsel's office had also pushed for Trump to take the temperature down, as it feared the president had legal exposure for his words and rhetoric at a Wednesday rally near the White House where he encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol, those people said.

"We must revitalize the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family," Trump said in Thursday evening's video, in which he for the first time conceded "a new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th." He did not mention Biden's name, though.

Wednesday's chaos on Capitol Hill resulted in the death of five people, including U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday night.

As of midday Friday, Trump had not commented on Sicknick's death, although a White House spokesman, Judd Deere, said Friday morning that "the President and the entire Administration extend our prayers to Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick's family as we all grieve the loss of this American hero."

Trump on Friday did take to Twitter, though, to speak directly to his followers.

"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future," the outgoing president wrote. "They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"

Drumbeat for Trump's removal from office grows

The calls for Trump's removal from office grew Friday, with Democrats on Capitol Hill vowing to take steps toward impeaching the president for a second time if Vice President Pence did not act to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for a president to be stripped of his powers with the support of the vice president and a majority of Cabinet members.

While sources have told ABC News that members of the president's Cabinet have, in fact, had detailed conversations about that possibility, it appeared unlikely to happen with just 12 days left in the president's term.

Pence himself held no public events Thursday or Friday, and on Thursday he entirely avoided the White House complex, instead remaining in his residence in Washington, according to a senior administration official.

Trump, too, had no public events either day, although on Thursday he awarded the nation's highest honor, the medal of freedom, to three golfers in an event from which the press was barred. He had planned to travel to Camp David this weekend, but the trip was cancelled, according to a White House official.

Officials jumping ship in final days

While the vice president may not move to forcibly remove the president, two members of the president's Cabinet have already abandoned him by walking away from the administration outright.

Education Secretary Betsy Devos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is also the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, resigned in protest over Wednesday's events. In addition, eight other members of the administration have also resigned, and there remained the possibility that more resignations could follow.

The president's former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who has served as the U.S. envoy to Northern Ireland since leaving the White House, said Thursday that some officials with whom he had spoken "are choosing to stay because they're worried the president might put someone worse in."

Another of the president's former chiefs of staff, John Kelly, who also served under Trump as secretary of homeland security, said that Pence should convene the cabinet to consider removing the president and that, if he were still in the administration, would vote for the president's immediate removal.

"What happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the frauds," Kelly said Thursday. "He's a very, very flawed man. I'm not a psychiatrist. I could never address anything that has to do with mental health. I would just say very flawed man who has got some serious character issues."

Trump's recently departed Attorney General Bill Barr also joined the pile-on by former administration officials. "Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable," Barr said in a statement. "The President's conduct [Wednesday] was a betrayal of his office and supporters."

Biden has yet to say whether he is supportive of the president's immediate removal from office but did issue a strong repudiation of Wednesday's events and echoed other Democrats in laying blame on the president for the insurrection.

"We could see it coming," Biden said Thursday. "The past four years, we've had a president who has made his contempt for our democracy, our Constitution, the rule of law clear in everything he has done."

"He unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of our democracy from the outset," Biden said. "And yesterday was but the culmination of that unrelenting attack."

Donald Trump's Facebook account has been shut down after The events at the capitol on Wednesday. Facebook has done this because they believe that Trump's use of the platform incites violence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The major move comes after violence erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday.

After a mob of pro-Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., during a joint session of Congress, Facebook took the unprecedented step of indefinitely banning the president's account.

At least four people have died following the so-called insurrection that erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday. As the world watched the violence unfold in horror, President Donald Trump shared a video on his social media accounts telling the protesters "we love you" and "you're very special" as he told them to go home.

The video was soon removed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. As pressure mounted, Facebook and Twitter took the extra step of temporarily suspending Trump's accounts. On Thursday, Facebook went a step further and said it was indefinitely suspending Trump's account.

"Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post.

"We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," he added. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."

Who or what is to blame for the riots at the capital yesterday is still a very highly debated topic. On one hand, people like former Defense Secretary James Mattis believe Donald Trump is to blame, concluding that Trump encouraged his supporters to riot, and on the other hand, some people think he calmed the crowd after releasing a written statement and a video expressing his discontentment of the way his supporters were protesting the election results.

Other former Pentagon leaders speak out against the violence

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis has directly blamed President Donald Trump for having "fomented" the security breach at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, which he labeled "an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule."

Mattis was among the former top Pentagon officials who served under Trump -- including former Defense Secretary Mark Esper and retired Gen. Joseph Dunford -- who also blamed political leaders spreading misinformation about the presidential debate as setting the groundwork for the violence at the Capitol.

"Today's violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump," said Mattis, who served as Trump's first secretary of defense, in a statement provided to ABC News.

"His use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice," he added. "Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country."

Retired Marine General Joseph Dunford, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump, issued a rare statement regarding Wednesday's violence.

His comments are noteworthy, as he has kept his opinions on political events quiet since his retirement.

"I believe our leaders who have continued to undermine a peaceful transition in accordance with our Constitution have set the conditions for today's violence," he said in a statement provided to ABC News.

"This is an outrageous assault on our democracy and a sad day for our Nation," Dunford added. "It's time for all Americans and particularly our elected officials to put our Country first. As many have said, we're better than this."

Mark Esper, who succeeded Mattis as defense secretary, said the Capitol breach was "appalling and un-American."

"The perpetrators who committed this illegal act were inspired by partisan misinformation and patently false claims about the election," Esper tweeted. "This must end now for the good of the republic."

Esper was fired by Trump after he fell out of favor with him in June when he came out against Trump's desire to invoke the Insurrection Act and use active duty military troops against Black Lives Matter protesters.

"As this transition plays out over the next two weeks, I am confident the U.S. military will stay out of politics, and remain true to its sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution, and the American people, as the most trusted and respected institution in the country," Esper said.

"'What America looked like today.' Ugly." tweeted Dunford's predecessor, retired Army General Martin Dempsey.

"And how sad that we have to confront the fact we may be no better than countries we often criticize," Dempsey said. "But despite all of that we still can be. 535 members of the House and Senate can make that choice for us. Hopefully."

Former Defense Secretary Mattis says Trump 'fomented' the security breach at the US Capitol

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Other former Pentagon leaders speak out against the violence Former Defense Secretary James Mattis has directly blamed President Donald Trump for having "fomented" the security breach at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, which he labeled "an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule."

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday said Vice President Pence should "immediately" invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office, while warning that if he refuses, Congress should "impeach the president." The quickest and most effective way it can be done today to remove this president from office would be for the vice president to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment," Schumer continued. "If the vice president and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president."

Members of Trump's Cabinet and Congress are discussing invoking the 25th amendment for the last few weeks of Trump's presidency.  In simplified terms, the 25th amendement states that if the President is unfit to do their job, the Vice President becomes the Acting President.  People supporting this motion include but are not limited to Chuck Schumer, AOC, Seth Moulton Ilhan Omar, Adam Kinzinger, and John Boehner.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There have been discussions among some members of Donald Trump's Cabinet and his allies over invoking the 25th Amendment, a potential vehicle for removing the president from office, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told ABC News.

It's unclear how extensive these conversations have been or whether Vice President Mike Pence is supportive of such action. Many were horrified by Wednesday's violence at the Capitol as well as Trump's apparent lack of urgency in marshaling resources to stop the mob, the sources said.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., on Thursday became the first Republican to publicly call for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

The 25th Amendment, which was ratified in 1967 in the wake of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, lays out the procedures for replacing the president in the event of death, removal, resignation or incapacitation.

"The president not only abdicated his duty to protect the American people and the people's house, he invoked and inflamed passions that gave fuel to the insurrection we saw here," Kinzinger said in a video posted to Twitter. "When pressed to move and denounce the violence he barely did so, while of course victimizing himself ... all indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty, or even his health, but from reality itself."

"It is for this reason that I call for the vice president and members of the cabinet to ensure that the next few weeks are safe for the American people, and that we have a sane captain of the ship," Kinzinger said.

John Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, told CNN on Thursday that if he were still in the Cabinet, he'd vote to invoke the 25th Amendment.

While Kelly said he thinks invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump is a long shot, he believes the Cabinet should meet and discuss it.

"The behavior yesterday, and in the weeks and months before that, have just been outrageous from the president," Kelly said. "And what happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the frauds."

Democrats are echoing those calls.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday urged Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office for his "seditious acts."

"We'll review what our options are in terms of the 25th Amendment," she said.

Pelosi also said she's prepared to impeach Trump again.

"If the vice president and Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment," Pelosi said. "If he wants to be unique and be doubly impeached, that's kind of up to him and his Cabinet as to whether he should stay in office."

The House speaker called the president "a very dangerous person who should not continue in office."

"This is urgent," she added. "This is emergency of the highest magnitude."

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement Thursday, "This president should not hold office one day longer."

"The quickest and most effective way -- it can be done today -- to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment," he said. "If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president."

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., told "GMA3: What You Need to Know" on Thursday: "If we're not going to use the 25th Amendment in this moment then I'm not clear what it's really for."

"It should be abundantly clear to leaders in the Republican Party that this president, who they have made excuses for, who they've coddled ... the way that he has conducted himself has slowly and gradually built to what happened yesterday," Coons said. "Removing Donald Trump as president is urgent."

Since the election in November, Coons continued, Trump hasn't been dealing with the pandemic. ... He's been tweeting and golfing and spinning up conspiracy theories. This man does not deserve to be president of the United States anymore."

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., tweeted Wednesday, "Trump is directly responsible for this insurrection and violence. He needs to be removed from office immediately. It is the Constitutional responsibility of Vice President Pence and the cabinet to exercise the power granted them by the 25th amendment."

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., announced Wednesday that she was drawing up articles of impeachment, tweeting: "We can't allow him to remain in office, it's a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath."

Other lawmakers also called for Trump's removal from office.

Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris "are focused on their duty -- preparing to take office on January 20th -- and will leave it to Vice President Pence, the Cabinet and the Congress to act as they see fit," Biden transition spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement Thursday.

Bates added: "Trump must stop blocking cooperation with the transition that could harm the readiness of the United States government to overcome the pandemic and the other crises he has worsened."

After Riots at the U.S Capital, 4 people had died during the attack. 3 suffering from "medical emergencies as well as one lady being shot fatally in the chest.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four people are dead following Wednesday's violent protests in Washington, D.C., where supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol.

One woman and two men suffered "medical emergencies" during the anarchy and have subsequently died, according to Robert Contee, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.

Another woman was shot and killed during a standoff inside the Capitol between law enforcement and protesters, Conte said. An angry mob of Trump supporters had breached the building, forcing a lockdown with members of Congress holed up inside the chambers.

The woman was shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer in plainclothes, after "multiple individuals forced entry into the Capitol building" and "attempted to gain access to the House room, which was still in session," according to Conte. She was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, Conte said.

Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told ABC News he saw the shooting happen, saying he "never thought" he would witness such a scene unfold in the United States.

"I get people being passionate and being frustrated, but there's a right way and and wrong way to do things and yesterday was wrong. There was absolutely no excuse for it," Mullin said in an interview Thursday on "Good Morning America."

"We're very fortunate a lot more people didn't actually lost their life," he added. "One is way too many."

The rioting began Wednesday afternoon after Trump and his allies held a rally earlier in the day, urging Congress to not certify the results of the November presidential election. Trump vowed to "never concede" and urged his supporters "to fight," as he continued to push baseless claims of election fraud.

"All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical Democrats," Trump told the crowd on the Ellipse park, just south of the White House. "We will never give up. We will never concede. It will never happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore."

Protesters -- some of who were seen wearing body armor -- made their way up the Capitol steps around 2:15 p.m. ET, pushing their way through barricades, officers in riot gear and other security measures that were put in place in anticipation of the protest. Once inside the Capitol building, the pro-Trump mob moved freely and shouted chants while holding "Trump 2020" flags. One person was also seen waving a Confederate flag inside the building.

Law enforcement officers inside the building instructed elected officials, staff and journalists to shelter in place as the protesters broke in. In a bulletin sent to Capitol building staff, the U.S. Capitol Police ordered people to lock their doors, remain quiet and silence their electronics.

"If you are in a public space, find a place to hide or seek cover," the bulletin said.

As the mob breached the Capitol building, Trump took to Twitter, saying Vice President Mike Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution," and that the "USA demands the truth!" He also tweeted, "Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"

Meanwhile, Pence, who was escorted out of the Capitol building, pleaded for the "violence and destruction" to stop and for anyone involved to "immediately leave the building."

Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., tweeted that he and his colleagues inside the House chamber were told by police "to be prepared to get under our chairs" and to put on gas masks because "there has been tear gas used in the rotunda."

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., tweeted that the "Electoral College ballots were rescued from the Senate floor."

"If our capable floor staff hadn't grabbed them, they would have been burned by the mob," he added.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told reporters who were with him in a secure position that "this is what the president has caused today, this insurrection."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., released a joint statement around 3:50 p.m., calling on Trump "to demand that all protestors leave the U.S. Capitol and Capitol Grounds immediately."

Trump's former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, even called out the president for not doing enough to put an end to the violence.

"He can stop this now and needs to do exactly that. Tell these folks to go home," Mulvaney tweeted.

Following repeated calls from leaders on both sides of the aisle, Trump finally released a video message via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, telling his supporters to go home. But he also continued to push baseless, false claims about the election.

"I know you're in pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us," the president said in the one-minute, prerecorded video. "But you have to go home now."

Twitter removed Trump's tweet with the video, along with two other tweets. At 7 p.m., Twitter announced that it has locked Trump's account for 12 hours and will continue to keep it locked until the tweets are deleted.

"Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account," the social network company tweeted.

Later in the night, Facebook announced that it would not allow Trump's official page to post for 24 hours.

The move came just as Trump's successor, President-elect Joe Biden, held a news conference to address the situation. He called on the outgoing president to tell his supporters to stop.

"This is not dissent, it's disorder. It's chaos. It borders on sedition, and it must end now," Biden said. "I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward."

The entire District of Columbia National Guard was activated and the Metropolitan Police Department was deployed to assist the U.S. Capitol Police in dispersing the protesters and restoring order. Several other law enforcement agencies in the region were also deployed to help.

A source told ABC News that Pelosi requested the National Guard's help to secure the Capitol building.

Police declared the scene a riot "due to the violent behavior towards the police officers there and their intent on gaining access to the Capitol," Conte, the D.C. Police chief, said at a press conference Wednesday night.

Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a citywide curfew that began at 6 p.m. and ended Thursday at 6 a.m. She called the violence "shameful, unpatriotic" and "unlawful." Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam also declared a 6 p.m. curfew in the nearby cities of Alexandria and Arlington.

It took hours for law enforcement to clear the Capitol building and establish a perimeter around the area. Later in the evening, authorities fired tear gas to disperse the rioters.

As of 9:30 p.m., police had made "in excess of 52 arrests" related to the protests, 26 of which were made on Capitol grounds, according to Conte.

Conte said two pipe bombs were recovered, one at Republican National Committee headquarters and the other at Democratic National Committee headquarters, both of which are located near the Capitol building. A cooler was also recovered from a van on Capitol grounds containing a long gun as well as Molotov cocktails, according to Conte.

Meanwhile, Conte said more than a dozen D.C. Police officers were injured while responding to the protests.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a bulletin on Wednesday night, calling for witnesses to submit information to assist in identifying individuals who were involved with the "rioting and violence" at the Capitol building and in the surrounding area.

Almost exactly 12 hours after the protests began, the U.S. Capitol Police sent a notice to all staffers on Capitol Hill, stating that the threat was cleared and operations could return to normal while police "continue to maintain a security perimeter."

The Senate resumed its session at around 8 p.m., where both Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned the violence.

"We will not be kept out of this chamber by mobs or thugs or threats. We will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation," McConnell said. "We are back at our posts. We will discharge our duty under the Constitution and for our nation -- and we're going to do it tonight."

McConnell went on to describe Wednesday's event as a "failed insurrection."

Both the Senate and the House ultimately went on to vote against Republican objections to certify Electoral College votes in the presidential election, with Pence declaring Biden the winner early Thursday morning.

In a statement tweeted by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino following the news, Trump said: "Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!"

It was the first time Trump has publicly accepted Biden's victory and agreed to a peaceful transfer of power.

Calls grow in Congress for Trump to be removed by impeachment or the 25th Amendment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A growing number of lawmakers -- including from Democratic leadership -- are calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment to the Constitution after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday.

# data[].attributes.body
Following the incident at the capitol building in D.C, multiple world leaders have come out with statements regarding the situation, Japan, China, and Canada saying they were "watching with concern" while Boris Johnson stated that there needs to be a peaceful transition of power. It seems that the world will be looking at America in these following weeks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(Bloomberg) -- Leaders around the world expressed dismay and anger at the overnight chaos in Washington and warned that the U.S. had its work cut out to remain an example of the democratic values it has championed.

"Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress," U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted after President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building. Although well known for his admiration of the outgoing president, the British leader said "it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power."

Another leader who has previously voiced support of Trump, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, called the scenes "very distressing" and said he was looking forward to a peaceful transfer of power.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a radio interview that his government was "concerned." "We're following the situation minute by minute as it unfolds," he said. Japan, one of the U.S.'s most powerful allies in Asia, was watching "with concern" the situation at the U.S. Capitol, chief government spokesman Katsunobu Kato told reporters.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed anger and sadness over the images from Washington. "I regret very much that President Trump has not recognized his defeat since November, and again yesterday," she told reporters in Berlin. "Doubt was sown about the election result and that created the atmosphere for the events of yesterday evening."

"The rampage at the Capitol yesterday was a disgraceful act that must be vigorously condemned," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, according to his office. "I have no doubt that American democracy will prevail -- it always has."

Czech Premier Andrej Babis, also a billionaire businessman-turned politician, ditched his social-media profile picture in which he was wearing a red hat mimicking the U.S. president's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

"It's true that it was inspired by Trump," Babis told the Czech news website Idnes.cz. "After the unprecedented attack on democracy that happened in the U.S., which I unequivocally condemned, I found it appropriate to express my stance by also changing my profile picture."

Their comments came after President-elect Joe Biden -- whose victory was confirmed by Congress early Thursday -- used a televised appearance to urge Americans to "think what the rest of the world is looking at" when they viewed the chaotic scenes from Washington.

While some European lawmakers issued statements backing U.S. institutions and its democracy to overcome the turmoil, others were more condemning of the president and his supporters.

"The enemies of democracy will rejoice at these unbelievable images out of Washington," said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas. "Inflammatory words reap violent deeds." Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said "shame on those who have incited this attack on democracy."

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said on Twitter that the storming of the capital was "a deliberate assault on Democracy by a sitting president," adding that "the world is watching." Carl Bildt, co-chair of the European Council on Foreign Relations, said his "sincere hope is that the evil man who bears the responsibility ultimately will suffer the consequences."

Other leaders on friendly terms with Trump played down their comments.

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro told supporters outside the presidential palace in Brasilia that he stood by Trump. Bolsonaro has been a staunch backer of Trump, ditching Brazil's multilateral approach to foreign policy to fully align his country to the U.S.

"You know I am connected to Trump, you know my response," he said, adding that there "have been many reports of fraud" in the U.S. election. Bolsonaro also said he believed the 2018 Brazilian election -- which he won in a runoff -- was riddled with fraud. "There was fraud during mine. I should have won in the first round," he said.

Polish President Andrzej Duda, who considers himself a political ally of Trump, refrained from any criticism of the U.S. leader, saying in a tweet the events in Washington were an "internal affair" and that power depended on the will of the voters.

Meanwhile, China used the opportunity to drive home a narrative of American hypocrisy, with state media casting the situation as "retribution" for Washington's support for global protest movements.

The social media site, Facebook has decided to indefinitely block Donald Trump's account. A video was shared from trump yesterday after the horrible breach of the Capitol building where he told the protesters that "we love you" and "you are very special". Facebook and other social media sites decided to take action, and block the president's account.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The major move comes after violence erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday.

After a mob of pro-Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., during a joint session of Congress, Facebook took the unprecedented step of indefinitely banning the president's account.

At least four people have died following the so-called insurrection that erupted at the Capitol on Wednesday. As the world watched the violence unfold in horror, President Donald Trump shared a video on his social media accounts telling the protesters "we love you" and "you're very special" as he told them to go home.

The video was soon removed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. As pressure mounted, Facebook and Twitter took the extra step of temporarily suspending Trump's accounts. On Thursday, Facebook went a step further and said it was indefinitely suspending Trump's account.

"Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post.

"We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," he added. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."

Facebook 'indefinitely' blocks Trump's account after violence at Capitol

The US Capitol building was stormed on January 6, 2021 by a mob of trump supporters shortly after getting riled up. Bombs were found, many people were armed, 4 people who partiipated in storming the building passed away, and many more.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Political leaders demanded late Wednesday to know why law enforcement did not better fortify the United States Capitol after extremist groups for days chattered online about their plans to react violently to the final formal step of certifying President Donald Trump's 2020 election defeat.

"How did so many rioters get into this building from so many directions? How was it breached?" Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat and House Judiciary Committee member, told ABC News. "You saw people with ropes scaling the building. You [normally] can't even get into this building with a purse."

Ken Cuccinelli, the Department of Homeland Security's acting deputy secretary, told ABC News he was "quite surprised" to watch on television an instance in which the doors of the Capitol were breached with no obvious police resistance -- even as U.S. Capitol Police officers with shields withstood the force of a mob armed with pepper spray at other locations.

"All of us in law enforcement have been planning for this for a number of days," Cuccinelli said. "This is all going to get analyzed. It really is going to have to be looked at."

U.S. Capitol Police, which is the lead agency in protecting the hallowed structure, could not be reached for comment.

The potential for a mob of President Trump's supporters to launch an assault on the Capitol was not explicitly laid out by extremist groups. But there were red flags and warning signs widely circulating on social media and flagged to law enforcement in the run-up to Wednesday's unprecedented breach, internal bulletins and intelligence reports obtained by ABC News show.

Intelligence reports widely circulated among federal law enforcement agencies included scores of social media posts condoning unruly actions similar to those that unfolded Wednesday. A Dec. 29 report by the online extremism watchdog group SITE quoted a right-wing activist saying, "I really don't care if people break into Congress and drag these politicians out in the streets."

In one video cited in the report, agitators "encouraged each other to attend the event armed and prepare for violence," the report said.

The report concluded that extremist far-right and conspiratorial groups would use the Jan. 6 pro-Trump protest to act on online threats.

"Based on the fairly straightforward intelligence that thousands of angry people were going to come and show their presence -- including groups prone to violence -- law enforcement was totally ill-prepared to handle today's incident," said ABC News contributor Brad Garrett, a former FBI special agent. "This was a phenomenal law enforcement failure."

Federal and local law enforcement were openly talking about security concerns they harbored in the days leading up to Wednesday's "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington. One federal official briefed on the situation told ABC News that concerns about violence were not a secret. The official said it's not clear why more action was not taken with so much advance notice.

Mary McCord, a Georgetown Law professor and former federal prosecutor, said federal agencies that protect the nation's most sacred and hallowed offices had gathered ample information ahead of the assault on the Capitol.

"I don't know why the Capitol Police were so unprepared," McCord said.

Her alarm at the ease with which the protest mob moved across the National Mall, over modest fortifications, and into the Capitol, was shared by members of Congress. Committee on House Administration Chairperson Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat, said the breach "raises grave security concerns."

"I intend to have the Committee on House Administration work with the bipartisan House and Senate leadership to address these concerns and review the response in coming days," she said.

Rep. Bass, a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, told ABC News she believes "a full investigation needs to happen."

"I have always felt safe at the Capitol," Bass said. "It would have never dawned on me that this is the place where I needed to be afraid."

Jeh Johnson, who served as Secretary of Homeland Security under President Barack Obama, said he believes "there could have been adequate security in place to prevent this from happening."

Not only was Wednesday's breach predictable, said ABC News contributor Garrett, but in a city so accustomed to mass gatherings, it should have been a routine law enforcement exercise to fortify against it.

"This should have been a classic anti-riot operation for a law enforcement agency, where a perimeter is set up in advance, crowds are channeled away from their target location, and reinforcements are called in from the National Guard or other federal agencies," Garrett said. "I just can't imagine that the Capitol Police didn't go through that drill."

Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine told ABC News that, more than anything, the day's events were "so tragic on so many levels, it literally is hard to describe."

Dine said the breach was no doubt "the worst nightmare" for a department dedicated to "protecting that place, those people, the democratic process. ... There's no question about it, there's a whole lot of work to be done."

The owner of a gym in Minnesota used a hidden camera to spy on a woman as she disrobed in a tanning booth, a new lawsuit claims.

The civil suit, filed last week in Wright County District Court, alleges that Snap Fitness franchisee Randall D. Roiger installed a surveillance camera in a tanning booth at the fitness center in Annandale, where he spied on the female customer "repeatedly" without her knowledge, the Star Tribune reported Monday.

The 42-year-old woman allegedly spotted the secret camera during a visit to the gym in January 2019 and then got in touch with cops. Roiger - who identified himself online as a former Marine - was later charged with misdemeanor interference with privacy, the newspaper reported.

Roiger watched the woman to "make sure individuals had purchased tanning booth minutes" and then allegedly stopped looking on once that was confirmed or "when people started undressing," a criminal complaint obtained by the newspaper states.

Roiger has agreed that using the camera was an invasion of privacy, according to the complaint, but he has pleaded not guilty ahead of his trial set for March, the Star Tribune reported.

Roiger, 45, of Cokato, told the newspaper Monday that the device "has been down for over a year" before declining to elaborate. The personal injury lawsuit also named the Minnesota-based Snap Fitness - which has 2,000 clubs in 48 states and 26 countries - as a defendant, according to the report.

Attorneys for Roiger, meanwhile, have denied that he watched the woman as she used the tanning booth, insisting he installed the camera in a corner of the booth's ceiling behind a pinhole to prevent theft and "unauthorized use" of the unit.

An attorney for the woman acknowledged that she did not "personally see" Roiger looking at her while naked, but suggested that "2 plus 2 equals 4," the newspaper reported.

"By the time she saw [the camera], it had apparently been there for weeks," attorney Lori Peterson told the Star Tribune. "The camera was clearly put here to view people as they undressed."

Peterson said she was "completely disgusted" by the gym's response.

"To not only deny responsibility but to actively endorse spying on unclothed members and victim-blaming a woman who was spied on in the tanning booth is reprehensible," Peterson said.

Defense attorneys claim customers were warned that video surveillance was utilized throughout the gym, including a sign near the entrance of the tanning booth. But Peterson insists the placards never warned customers of being watched inside the booths, according to the report.

The woman's suit, which seeks at least $50,000 in damages, claims she still suffers emotionally and physically from the incident, including paranoia and having a fear of public bathrooms.

The woman is identified in the lawsuit, but the Star Tribune declined to reveal her name since she's a potential victim of a sexually related crime, according to the report.

A LinkedIn profile for Roiger, meanwhile, identified him as the owner of Snap Fitness in Annandale who served in the Marine Corps for more than four years, including three combat tours to Iraq.

"While in the Marine Corps, I was promoted 3 times, being honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant," the profile reads. "Through my experiences, I've learned to be a strong leader with many technical skills. I feel my greatest strength is my ability to get along with a variety of people and personalities."

Twitter freaked out a couple days ago when a dad live tweeted his daughter who struggled to open a can of beans with a can opener and he wouldn't let her eat for 6 hours until she opened it. Several people criticized his parenting style and debated his controversial tweets. He then earned the nickname "bean dad"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A dad in the US who boasted about his parenting skills after telling his hungry nine-year-old daughter to open a tin of beans or go without food has caused outcry on social media.

After six hours the child successfully opened the tin and was finally allowed to eat, he said in now-deleted tweets.

The dad, a podcaster, claimed it was a victory for "good parenting".

But other parents accused him of neglect, while some suggested he invented the story to get attention.

Twitter users nicknamed the father "bean dad" as the incident caused another heated debate on social media, where parenting methods are a frequent cause of disagreement.

John Roderick, who is also a musician, shared the story on Saturday on Twitter, explaining that it began when his daughter asked him to make baked beans.

After she brought him a tin-opener and can of beans, he asked her how she thought a tin-opener worked, he said.

When she said she didn't know, he said he realised "a teaching moment just dropped into my lap".

"Apocalypse dad was overjoyed," he added.

Explaining that he wanted his daughter to learn how to open a tin of beans, he said she tried for six hours.

"She was next to me grunting and groaning trying to get the thing. I should say that spatial orientation, process visualization and order of operation are not things she... intuits. I knew this would be a challenge," he said.

Eventually she opened the tin and ate the beans, he explained.

The tweets were quickly shared widely as other users condemned the incident, suggesting it was poor parenting.

"I feel like it's super valuable to teach kids that they're not alone in the world and that there's no shame in asking other people for help and support," wrote journalist Jason Schreier.

Another user suggested Mr Roderick's approach was "ridiculous" - and that he should simply have fed his daughter, and then showed her how to use a can opener.

The Bean Dad story is ridiculous. He should have just FED her, and THEN showed her how to use a damn can opener instead of leaving her hungry for six hours. That's abusive.

She's 9 years old, and some of us don't learn very well when we're hungry, regardless of age. Jeez.

A handful of users agreed with the lesson Mr Roderick claims he taught his child.

"This teaches independence and personal growth. He did nothing wrong and in fact made me wish I did more of this," one wrote, while some fans of his podcast suggested that the story about his daughter was written in the voice of a character on his show and therefore should not be taken seriously.

Mr Roderick did not reply to media requests for comment but did defend himself on Twitter before later deleting his account.

"Six hours is the length of time between meals. Lunch at noon, dinner at six. They're literally saying child abuse," he wrote. He added that the backlash was "astonishing. My kid is fine everybody."

But a woman who said she was a teacher suggested it was a poor way to educate children.

"Kids learn best when they aren't hungry. Everyone learns differently and different approaches (eg. A guiding hand) are helpful, especially if/when someone's struggling," she said.

Teacher here.

1. Kids learn best when they aren't hungry.

2. Everyone learns differently and different approaches (eg. A guiding hand) are helpful, especially if/when someone's struggling.

3. When a child is frustrated to the point of tears, you've lost your teachable moment.

And author Racheline Maltese said that the lessons the child probably learnt were negative.

"Things you taught your kid: food must be earned; disordered eating in the forms of food hoarding and punishing herself by not eating; asking for help is futile," she wrote.

Some users also accused Mr Roderick of racism, sexism and homophobia after searching through his previous tweets.

However, his podcast co-host Ken Jennings defended Mr Roderick, calling him " a loving and attentive dad", adding on Twitter: "There's no axis where any anti-Semitic screenshot represents any actual opinion I've ever heard from him."

On Sunday the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me said it would no longer be using Mr Roderick's music.
