"us-capitol-riot"

Most Americans are tired of witnessing the contest between Biden and Trump, given the bitter polarisation that characterised the previous election

Biden said to protect democracy required people of goodwill and courage to stand up to the hate, lies, and the extremism that led to this “vicious attack”.

Trump did acknowledge that those who stormed the Capitol “went in and they shouldn't have done it.”

Trump urged the crowd on January 6 to march on the Capitol, where Congress was meeting to affirm Joe Biden's presidential election.
