Similar scenes in Hong Kong and Washington DC, a blatant display of double standards:

This is a COMPLETELY WRONG comparison. The protestors in Hong Kong are fighting for legitimate demands of democracy and freedom. They stormed into a symbol of autocracy and political persecution. I don't think you want to equate the congress in Hong Kong to the US. https://t.co/Uk4jXZuQ0I
