Barack Obama Accuses Donald Trump Of Inciting Violence At The U.S Capitol Buildi by Blogger2021: 10:09am On Jan 07, 2021
Former US president Barack Obama has accused Donald Trump of inciting his supporters who stormed the US Capitol - describing it as a "moment of shame".

In a statement on Twitter, the Democrat said: "History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation.

"For two months now, a political party and its accompanying media ecosystem has too often been unwilling to tell their followers the truth - that this was not a particularly close election and that president-elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20.

"Their fantasy narrative has spiralled further and further from reality, and it builds upon years of sown resentments.

"Now we're seeing the consequences, whipped up into a violent crescendo."

Former Republican president George W Bush also condemned the actions of Mr Trump and his supporters, branding the unrest "mayhem" and the acts of a "banana republic".

President Bush, who led the US from 2001 to 2009, did not mention the current commander-in-chief by name in his statement.

"This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic - not our democratic republic," he said.

"I am appalled by the reckless behaviour of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement.

"The violent assault on the Capitol - and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress - was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes.

"Insurrection could do grave damage to our nation and reputation."

People who have worked inside the Trump administration were also excoriating of the man currently trying to cling on to power

Former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said that the president's messages on Twitter were insufficient.

He said: "The President's tweet is not enough. He can stop this now and needs to do exactly that. Tell these folks to go home."

So says the terrorist sympathiser himself. was it Trump that asked them to cause chaos in the capitol. I haven't heard you say anything about the shooting of protesters in Nigeria by overzealous security forces sent by the tyrant Buhari you imposed on Nigerian people in 2015 hoping that he will abolish the anti gay law so that men can be marrying their fellow men just like you married your transgendered wife.
