JAKARTA - After being delayed by Donald Trump's supporters, the US Congress resumed its trial to ratify the results of the US Presidential Election at 8 pm local time, Reuters reported Thursday, January 7.
"To those who made trouble on Capitol Hill today, you did not win. Let's get back to work. We will certify the winners of the 2020 elections," said US Senate President who is also Vice President Mike Pence as chairman of the session while continuing the agenda of the session.
Meanwhile, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a citywide curfew starting at 6 p.m. local time. To assist DC Police, National Guard, FBI and Secret Service forces are deployed to secure the Capitol Hill Building and the surrounding area.
“This is how the election results are debated in the banana republic, not our democratic republic. I am shocked by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election, "said former President George W. Bush.
It is known that the mass action of Donald Trump's supporters invaded and damaged several parts of Capitol Hill. A protester took the Senate stage and shouted "Trump won the election". Protesters reversed barricades and clashed with police as thousands descended on the grounds of Capitol Hill.
"The rioters used irritating chemicals to attack the police. Several policemen were injured and one civilian was shot," said Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee.
The US Capitol Historical Society calls this Trump supporter the most destructive of the iconic building since the British Army burned it down in 1814.
