Live footage of US politicians cowering from the mob shocked the world.

Trump had urged protesters at a rally outside the White House shortly beforehand to “peacefully” march on the capitol, but he also encouraged them to “fight” and stirred up the crowd with unsubstantiated claims of mass voter fraud in the election he had just lost.
