“DARK DAY IN AMERICA’S HISTORY” BY DAVID SAFFER

US President-elect Joe Biden was forced to address the nation after pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol in Washington yesterday. At the time of going to press one woman had died in the violence and there had been 13 arrests. Numerous weapons were found including a pipe bomb. Congress members were due to confirm Biden’s election win but barely believable scenes of chaos streamed across global TV networks as demonstrators breached security to occupy the building.

disorder. It’s chaos, it borders on sedition and it must end, now,” he said. Clearly angered, but measured, Biden continued, “The words of a president matter, no matter how good or bad that president is. At their best the words of a president can inspire, at their worst they can incite. Therefore, I call

on President Trump to go on national television now to fulfil his oath and defend the constitution and demand an end to this siege.” He added, “The world is watching. Like so many other Americans, I am genuinely shocked and saddened that our nation, so long a beacon of light and hope for democracy, has come to such a dark moment… Through war and strife, America has endured much and we will prevail again.” Biden called on Trump to “step up” and stop the violence. In a tweeted video, Trump repeated his claims of electoral fraud. “I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us… But you have to go home now. We have to have peace,” he said. Trump’s actions came on a day when the Democratic Party won control of the Senate. PARASHAT SHEMOT
