In a shocking turn of events in the United States of America, Supporters of Former President Donald Trump on his commands, attacked and stormed the US Capitol in Washington DC and started a major riot which resulted in arrest of atleast 52 people and the deaths of 4 people.
Having lost the US Presidental Election Race in November 2020, Trump has spend most of the time convincing his followers that he has been cheated and alleged that the has been a fraud in the electoral race and called for a rally.
On December 20th,2020 he refused to concede his loss to Joe Biden and wrote on Twitter "Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Elections. Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"
Despite America been the worst affected nation by the ongoing global Pandemic COVID-19, thousands of people showed up in order to March towards the Capitol and protest and pressure the elected officials to reject the results.
Trump Told the Crowd "We're going to walk down to the capitol to cheer on our brave senators and Congressmen and women." "We will never give up,we will never concede". He would call Democratic victories the product of "expansion of bull****" to which the crowd cheered and joined the chant of "Bull****, Bull****".
