JAKARTA - The Capitol Hill building was hit by a riot after hundreds of Donald Trump's supporters staged an anarchist demonstration and the US Congress meeting to discuss the outcome of the US Presidential Election was suspended.
What happened on Capitol Hill cannot be separated from a number of controversial statements by Trump, which caused the masses of supporters to carry out anarchist actions on Wednesday, January 6 local time.
Trump, who refuses to admit defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, has repeatedly urged his supporters to come to Washington for a January 6 rally.
"It is statistically impossible to lose the 2020 elections," tweeted Donald Trump on December 20, 2020.
“Big protest in DC on January 6th. Being there, will be wild !, "Trump said at another opportunity.
"We will walk to the Capitol and we will support our brave senators and members of Congress and women," Trump said to his supporters.
The US billionaire also said he would never give up on the results of the US Presidential Election.
"We will never give up, we will never give up," Trump said.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense !, ”Trump supporters shouted.
In addition to his statements, Trump was also assisted by a number of support groups, such as stopthesteel, which made false claims about voter fraud on Facebook and other social media.
After the riots broke out on Capitol Hill, Trump returned to the claims about the stolen election, although he also asked his supporters to order and return home, via video footage on Twitter.
