Joe Biden
President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday accused US authorities of treating pro-Trump protesters more leniently than anti-racism demonstrators who were forcibly dispersed by police in Washington last year.
“No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday… they wouldn’t have been treated very, very different than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol,” Biden said.
“We all know that’s true, and it is unacceptable.”

The President-elect assailed Donald Trump a day after pro-Trump rioters smashed their way into the Capitol, saying the outgoing leader had caused one of the “darkest days” in US history.
“He unleashed an all-out assault on the institutions of our democracy from the outset,” Biden said.
Wednesday’s storming of the Capitol was “one of the darkest days in the history of our nation,” he added.
