Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday that he is "extremely uncomfortable" with the continued high level of security at the U.S. Capitol, saying there are currently no serious threats against Congress.
"With all this razor wire around the complex, it reminds me of my last visit to Kabul," McConnell told reporters at a news conference.
The U.S. Capitol complex, home to both the Senate and the House of Representatives, was placed under tight security that includes a perimeter fence after a mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building in a Jan. 6 riot that left five people dead, including a police officer.
