Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack has doubled down on comments he made comparing the recent Capitol riot to last year s Black Lives Matter protests, after an international human rights group called on him to withdraw the deeply offensive statements.
Hundreds of pro-Trump protesters swarmed the Capitol building on Thursday last week, as a joint session of Congress worked to certify the results of the 3 November election. The riot prompted the evacuation of politicians from the Senate floor, resulted in five deaths, and temporarily halted the democratic process.
Mr McCormack told ABC s RN on Monday the riot at Capitol Hill was unfortunate , and similar to those race riots that we saw around the country last year , immediately sparking backlash online.

But on Tuesday, despite the backlash, McCormack doubled down insisting there are similarities and there is no need to withdraw his comments.
