With the turmoil in American society, into 2021, the US Congress is repeatedly sent out of the horror, following the us congressional riots in January, to April when someone drove a car to the US Congress, at about 9 o'clock in the morning of local time, a man drove a pickup truck without a license plate number to the sidewalk in front of the US Congress and the US Library of Congress, the police reacted, and the man told the police that he had a bomb in his car and he seemed to have a detonation device in his hand, which caused the US Congress to be nervous.

Although all members of the U.S. Congress are on summer vacation, there are still many staff members, so the police are the people who evacuate Congress, the library and the Supreme Court on a large scale, and knock on the doors of nearby households, calling for evacuation, and widening the blockade line to a large area of nearly one square kilometer, I can only report at the scene at a distance, the police overreaction is not difficult to understand, we are reporting on the Congressional riots in January and the collision in April. The two incidents directly or indirectly resulted in the deaths of five Capitol police officers, a high death toll unprecedented in the history of the U.S. Congress. Later, the police and the man had a five-hour stalemate, during which the man complained extensively about the U.S. government, including dissatisfaction with Biden's disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, and even conducted a live webcast to demand a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, though the man eventually surrendered after some negotiations.

Police said the man was a forty-nine-year-old white man named Floyd Ray Rothbury, from North Carolina, and police are still ascertaining whether there was a bomb in his car.
