Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says President Donald Trump “bears a great deal of the blame” after a mob loyal to him stormed the U.S. Capitol. As the Senate reconvened to count electoral votes that will confirm Democrat Joe Biden’s win, Schumer said that Jan. 6, 2021, will “live forever in infamy” and will be a stain on the democracy. Schumer said the events “did not happen spontaneously.” He said Wednesday: “The president, who promoted conspiracy theories that motivated these thugs, the president, who exhorted them to come to our nation’s capital, egged them on.” Trump has falsely claimed that there was widespread fraud in the election to explain away his defeat. Schumer says the protesters should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
