Joe Biden slams pro-Trump mob as ‘domestic terrorists’, says the President fomented violence at US Capitol
President-elect Joe Biden says US President Donald Trump fomented violence at the Capitol, calling it “one of the darkest days in the history of our nation” and an assault on democracy.
Key points:
- Mr Trump had called on supporters to march to the Capitol
- The Capitol was forced into lockdown by crowds swarming the building
- Mr Biden said Mr Trump “unleashed an all-out assault on the institutions of our democracy”
Speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, where he was introducing nominees for his Justice Department, Mr Biden called the Trump supporters who forced their way into the Capitol Building “domestic terrorists”.
“Don’t dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It’s that basic,” Mr Biden said.
