“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.”
‘Darkest days’ in US history
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.
