WASHINGTON — Several Mount Washington Valley residents traveled to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate their support for President Donald Trump but they condemned the violent protesters who breached and vandalized the Capitol building on Wednesday.
Trump supporter Billy Cuccio, owner of the Lobster Trap Restaurant on West Side Road in North Conway, had hosted Donald Trump Jr. at a campaign rally at his eatery on Sept. 24.

Attending the riot in Washington tell me a lot about her Mr. Cuccio.
P.s. Mr. Furtando can tell his friends to be thankful as well, usually notes tied to bricks are found on the inside of broken windows, not quietly placed at the door like a parcel from the post office lol wowsa.
I'm glad Mr. Cuccio and his friends are ok and didn't encounter any of the violence that I and my family watched unfold live on several different new stations and online. My God!
There is no way we can sincerely believe the rioters were anything but hard core Trump fans gone way too far. They carried the Confederate battle flag thru Our People's House! No. Four people are dead. Dead. For what?!?
Those that broke into the Capitol Building, vandalized and robbed The People's House while assaulting Capitol police were not ruffians! They were not bad apples in an otherwise super duper Patriotic sack. No.
They are nothing short of riotous thugs who have committed Treason!! No. There is no excuse.
Real Republicans must stand up now and save the Republican Party.
tRUMP Has ruined this country. So sad how divided he has made us
I find it very disappointing that this paper continues to print statements from people that continue to push untruths. It has been proven by the FBI and other intelligence agencies that there is not and has not been any organization called Antifa. It is a lie created by this administration. So no Sherrie, there are no monsters under your bed.
