Former president Barack Obama released a statement Wednesday evening, expressing his utter disappointment with the riot and chaos led by fervent Donald Trump supporters upon the U.S. Capitol yesterday.
Obama's statement comes after the entire nation watched in shock as thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building while Congress was officially certifying President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's November election win. Rioters broke through doors and smashed in windows, took deranged selfies with law enforcement and inside government officials' offices, and more cheered on the debauchery from outside the Capitol's walls. President Donald Trump not only refused to outwardly condemn the lawless mob, but told them he "loved them" and that they were "special" during his little-too-late recorded response to the chaos.
