At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.
We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.

Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, said in a tweet, “At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.”
She added, “We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.”
Of course, it seems odd to ask the president’s supporters to “remain” peaceful, when some of them have already engaged in violence. According to reports, one woman is in critical condition after being shot on Capitol grounds.
