South Portland resident discusses violence in Washington, D.C.

Scott Olson of South Portland, Maine, was one of a few people still outside the Burton M. Cross building in Augusta on Wednesday evening as pro-Trump extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol. He said he had considered making the trip to Washington, D.C., to oppose the electoral vote certification of President-elect Joe Biden's victory but was unable to due to health problems. Olson said he believed the election was "illegitimate" but disagreed with the violence occurring in the county's capital. For more, visit bangordailynews.com.
