Moment of great dishonour, shame : Obama slams Trump, says he incited US Capitol violence
Slamming President Donald Trump for inciting violence on the US Capitol, his predecessor Barack Obama has mentioned itâs a second of ânice dishonour and disgraceâ for the US. The assertion of the former common president got here hours after hundreds of pro-Trump rioters on Wednesday stormed the US Capitol, interrupting a joint session of Congress the place lawmakers have been set to certify President-elect Joe Bidenâs win.
âHistorical past will rightly keep in mind in the present dayâs violence on the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie in regards to the consequence of a lawful election, as a second of nice dishonour and disgrace for our nation. However we might be kidding ourselves if we handled it as a complete shock,â Obama mentioned in a prolonged assertion.
