Biden: "At this hour, our Democracy is under unprecedented assault."

Speaking now.

There's nothing shocking about any of this. As PP stated, this has been glamourised online and anyone with half a brain could see this coming.

This was permitted to happen and is being permitted to continue. Someone has an end game for this.

NorthWest Yes, apparently there are more cameras than anyone can imagine... they have committed crimes. in full view.

There's mobile phone footage of a woman covered in a flag getting shot.

It's utter mayhem.

Trump seems to have been abandoned by Pence and McConnell, but too late.

MAGA Twits are still defending Trump and the riots.

Just insane. Feels like I'm watching a movie.

Biden speaking live now from Wilmington, see BBC 24 news.

Bidens called trump out well and truly.

When will Pence and McConnell go in front of the cameras?

This was part of trumps plan all along. Always going to happen if he lost.

I would say not surprising but still shocking.

Interesting that Biden has labelled it sedition. Strong words

Suspect there will be minimal, if any, arrests or consequences for this. That's a gut feeling.

Whilst anti masking

As someone who is 50% American,my heart breaks to witness this. Such a beautiful country yet this.

Biden telling Trump to get on TV now, and call off the insurrection.

Oh, Pence still follows Trump accounts.

Trump should’ve been more careful about the forces he unleashed. Once the genie is out of the bottle it’s very difficult to get it back in.

Biden needed to stop after the incite comment he's lost it now, gone on too long

Whilst anti masking

Many of them were wearing masks, for some reason.

What’s taking armed troops so long ?

Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about what he unleashes. He has all the foresight of a tantrumming toddler.

@tobee

This is not what happens in the USA. Surely?

Apart from the evidence in front of everyone's eyes, this was incited by Donald Trump over at least the last six years.

So nice to see Biden, I will be relieved on Jan 20th

As Biden addresses the nation about the uprising at the Capitol, Edison has projected Democrat Jon Ossoff as the winner in Georgia, thus handing Democrats control of the Senate. What a surreal moment.
