Barack Obama said in a statement that history will remember this violent incident that has been instigated by the current president, who is lying baseless about the outcome of the lawful election. This is an insult and a great shame to our country. Republican leaders are not willing to tell their supporters the truth about the election. Republican leaders either ignore the truth or accept the reality.
It is noteworthy that Trump supporters attacked the capital building and damaged the property. The violent incident occurred after he addressed thousands of supporters near the White House. At present, police and security forces have dispersed the protesters from there.
