Donald Trump
Thousands of protesters believed to be loyalists of President Donald Trump attacked the the capitol hill, a building housing the United States Parliament, on Wednesday.
The protesters, using a window washing platform, were seen pulling down the US flag to hoist the campaign flag of Trump.
The protesters breached the Capitol police and invaded the premises of the legislative complex disrupting congress’ debate on certification of Biden’s victory.
They marched to the building not long after they were addressed by Trump who has constantly questioned the legitimacy of the November presidential election and has refused to concede after losing to Biden.
The lawmakers were expected to count and confirm the votes cast by state electors during the just concluded US election.
The development is coming after Vice president, Mike Pence rebuffed Trump’s attempt to thwart the certification process using him.
