pscp.tv/w/1mrGmwzVlZQxy
President-elect Biden on the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol: "Don't dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists. Domestic terrorists. It's that basic. It's that simple."
President-elect Biden: Wednesday's storming of the U.S. Capitol marks "one of the darkest days in the history of our nation."
President-elect Biden says the U.S. judiciary stood up to the pressure from President Trump to overturn the election, adding that the U.S. democracy has survived in no small part thanks to the independence of the judiciary.
