Arizona Republican elected officials have reacted to the siege at the U.S. Capitol by blaming, and this is not a comprehensive list, Democrats, Doug Ducey, other Republicans, Antifa, and Congress.
Here's a look back at the last 24 hours in tweets...

Violence and breaking into the U. S. Capitol is dangerous and totally unacceptable.

I voted to uphold the U.S. Constitution by objecting to Arizona's electors. The U.S. Constitution says that states need to follow their state's election laws in presidential elections. Since AZ's voter registration deadline law was violated, the U.S. Constitution was violated.

He boasted he'd "lead the charge" and "FIGHT" for Trump supporters.

TODAY, I will lead the charge on the House floor to STAND for election integrity and FIGHT for the millions of Americans who have lost complete trust in our elections systems. pic.twitter.com/aoFMVvh9EK

Peaceful protests are the hallmark of our constitutional republic. Violence should never be tolerated, and I condemn the violence we experienced at the U.S. Capitol today. Those who have violently violated the laws should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
— Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) January 7, 2021
When that didn't work, the @AZGOP asked people if they were willing to give their lives for Trump.

The Arizona Republican Party is now advocating for violence to overturn the 2020 election.
— Nick Martin (@nickmartin) December 8, 2020
Governor @dougducey, Attorney General @GeneralBrnovich, and other Republicans in the state have a duty to denounce this extremist rhetoric before someone gets killed. pic.twitter.com/3D2Nspsedc

You know what could have prevented this? #ElectionIntegrity and full transparent investigations into 2020 fraud. Audits, eyes on paper ballots, full audit of ALL digitally adjudicated and all duplicated ballots, full evaluation of Dominion machines. Remember: Democrats refused.

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb speaking after the storming of the US Capitol yesterday:

"I don't know how loud we have to get before they start to listen to us... "
He said yesterday's events were not about the president but about "the Hillary Clintons"https://t.co/OedKXvXUp7

I condemn the radical Antifa mobs for attacking the Capitol and I condemn the Democrats for wanting to defund the very police who protected them.

Congress caused the killing of a peaceful unarmed Air Force veteran today because of their ignoring of the requests from the people. She was shot her in the neck & is now deceased. All they had to do was allow for an audit of the machines and votes. This could have been avoided.

Mark Finchem represents a seat I briefly held a decade ago. He\u2019s represented it far-longer, and he is a friend. @MarkFinchem should be expelled from the AZ House immediately for participating in a violent riot against the United States. https://t.co/8X1BZRLEGL

@SenSchumer compared today's protest in #DC to bombing of Pearl Harbor! What a hideous slap in the face to our soldiers on that fateful day! Today, men, women, young people, and children peacefully protested at their US Capitol. Only a small few broke the law. #StopTheSteaI

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, who voted to overturn the election results with baseless claims of fraud, worries that people are upset. Here is the amicus brief she signed on to in December: https://t.co/qOHLYXMoeq https://t.co/3QorUMELUJ

More from Government
12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.”

12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence
On January 6, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC, at Trump's orders. It's highly likely that they'll try to storm the Capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's win. I don't think this has sunk in yet.

12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1

1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr

3. understand why law is not being used as the instrument it was designed for-to enforce law and order. Let us take the case of Nnamdi Kanu-this man was arraigned in Nigeria on a charge of treason/treasonable felony-he was on bail & he jumped bail. Why has he not been extradited?
4. Is it that Kanu is somehow bigger than Nigeria? What has happened to his surety who failed to produce him? Who is prosecuting him? Our Federal Ministry of Justice? Should Malami not explain to Nigeria why Nnamdi Kanu is still taunting Nigeria daily & still actively destroying/
