Capitol Hill violence: President Trump 'step up' and end this, says Biden
US ELECTION 2020 AND JOE BIDEN
A visibly distraught but steely US President-elect Joe Biden appeared on US television and asked President Donald Trump to "step-up" and end the violent and unprecedented development at US Capitol Hill involving Trump supporters breaking into Capitol Hill to disrupt certification of Biden. Capitol Hill was a scene of unprecedented and surprsing events as Donald Trump-supporters stormed the area and broke into Capitol Building while US Lawmakers were certifying US Presidential Election 2020.
"This is not protest, this is insurrection," said Biden during his address.
"This has to end now," he added.
"At this hour, our democracy is under unprecedented assault," the veteran Democrat said in Wilmington, after hundreds of Trump supporters protesting his election defeat swarmed the Capitol building and put the nation's lawmakers at risk.
Shortly after Biden's LIVE address to media,Donald Trump tweeted a recorded video message in which he was seen asking his supporters to "go home" but he also said that he loved them.
