The violent storming of Capitol Hill in the United States on January 6 has left the world in shock. Politicians, prominent public figures, and celebrities across the board have condemned the mob riots led by President Donald Trump's supporters ahead of incoming leaders Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' Congress certification. This act of trespassing the government complex in a bid to overturn US election results in favour of Trump is being labelled an "assault on democracy," with many demanding the outgoing President's impeachment and court action against the mobs.
