'It's insurrection.' - Biden

Posted by ProjectC 
'The former vice president said that for demonstrators to storm the Capitol, smash windows, occupy offices, invade the halls of Congress and threaten the safety of duly elected officials: “It’s not a protest, it’s insurrection.”

“I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward,” Biden added, urging Trump to go on national television to demand “an end to this siege.”

In a video posted to Twitter, Trump repeated his false claims about election fraud but urged the protesters to leave.

“You have to go home now, we have to have peace,” he said.

Video showed protesters breaking windows and police deploying teargas inside the building. Local media reported that one person had been shot and video showed a person being wheeled from the building on a stretcher.

..

The protests drew international condemnation, with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said democracy’s enemies would be cheered by scenes of violence at the U.S. Capitol.

“Trump and his supporters must accept the decision of American voters at last and stop trampling on democracy,” Maas said.'
