Biden: Our democracy is under unprecedented assault
From CNN s Maureen Chowdhury
President-elect Joe Biden addressed the riots that erupted at the US Capitol building, calling it an assault on democracy. At this hour, our democracy s under unprecedented assault. Unlike anything we ve seen in modern times. An assault on the citadel of liberty, the Capitol itself. An assault on the people s representatives and the Capitol Hill police, sworn to protect them. And the public servants who work at the heart of our Republic. Let me be very clear. The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America. Do not represent who we are. What we re seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent. It s disorder. It s chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end now, Biden said.
