The unprecedented scenes of the protest unfolding led to many celebrities, on both sides of the aisle, to react on social media and share their thoughts.

SHAME ON YOU is trending…how about shame on the democratic electors who encouraged violence for four months. The protests in DC are mostly peaceful. Nothing is burned down. No one has been killed.
