Supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump stormed Capitol Hill, the US parliament in Washington on the day of the official proclamation of Joe Biden. The protests had begun for hours in the street fomented by the words of the president who had once again defined the election of the Democrat as rigged.
Dozens of people, some of them armed, broke through the security lines and broke into the building that houses House and Senate. A woman was killed in the shooting.
She would be an air force veteran, a Trump supporter. There would be a total of 5 dead and 54 injured.
The certification process of Joe Biden’s victory has stopped. Vice President Mike Pence was escorted out of the Senate chamber. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was moved to a safe location.
The situation returned under control only after the intervention of the police. During the night, the House and Senate rejected the latest appeals against the election of Joe Biden to the presidency of the United States. Rumors have circulated about maneuvers inside the White House: the hypothesis is to trigger the 25th amendment to the Constitution which allows the president to be deprived of authority.
President-elect Joe Biden gave a speech on live TV describing what was happening “not a demonstration, but an insurrection”, and asking President Donald Trump to “end immediately” these clashes. Trump tweeted a video message asking protesters to return home, but did not condemn the violence. he repeated that the elections “were stolen”. «I understand your pain» he wrote and again «I love you, you are special». Twitter barred from interacting with Trump’s tweet.
