One of the central pillars on which American democracy rests withstood a devastating blow on Wednesday when a mob of angry Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol building in Washington DC and in a relatively short period of time set up barricades, smashed windows and they broke into it . The violence and destruction that occurred had never been seen in modern US history : crowds of people fanning out and entering the halls of Congress, waving Trump flags, ransacking congressmen's offices and wearing caps with the Trumpist logo of Make America Great Again (which would be translated in Spanish as "Let's Make America Great Again") on the building's historic statues.
One of the assailants sat in the place from where Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nacy Pelosi had been leading the session to certify the electoral votes that had led to Joe Biden being the president-elect and Kamala Harris the vice president. in a vote in which it was going to be certified that they will be the ones who will lead the next Europe Cell Phone Number List Government in the White House . He stood with his fist raised, in a posture that has become representative of Trump's most staunch acolytes. The shocking photos of the assault on the Capitol: Trump supporters steal all kinds of objects and invade the offices of congressmen and senators The riots occurred after a demonstration where thousands of followers of Trump and his crusade to delegitimize Biden's victory listened to the still president's speech.
Trump continues to deny the reality that he has lost the election to Biden and he maintained this rhetoric on Wednesday morning before the assault , even as Congress and the Senate prepared to carry out the law just a few feet away. The assault stops the session to ratify Biden Lawmakers in charge of the electoral count in the session of Congress to ratify Biden had only managed to get through two states, Alabama and Alaska, before a handful of Republicans expressed their objections to the states that Biden won. But the digression didn't last long before the Capitol had to be closed. Secret Service agents led Pence out of the room; while Pelosi, other lawmakers and congressional aides were moved to safe locations. At least four people have died, including a woman who was shot inside Congress. A curfew was imposed in the residential neighborhoods surrounding the riots.
