Here's how corporate America is responding to the Capitol siege.

'The antithesis of democracy'

First, the business world responded with words.

Both $4 condemning what had happened in the US Capitol.

The language they used varied, and some gave more personal responses than others.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg $4 "a dark moment in our nation's history," Google CEO Sundar Pichai $4 they were "the antithesis of democracy," and American Express Chairman and CEO Stephen J. Squeri said they were an "egregious assault on our democracy."

Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian was one of the first business leaders to speak out, describing the rioters as "domestic terrorists."
