This was a very bad day for the USA. Trump has refused to concede that he lost the election, and he has convinced his followers to go after the senators and congressmen.
Note that the rioters are all White Men. Don’t tell me that there isn’t racism involved.
WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 06: Protesters interact with Capitol Police inside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 06, 2021 in Washington, DC. Congress held a joint session today to ratify President-elect Joe Biden’s 306-232 Electoral College win over President Donald Trump. A group of Republican senators said they would reject the Electoral College votes of several states unless Congress appointed a commission to audit the election results.
