Capitol Riots: A ‘stain’ on American democracy but is Trump to blame?

Capitol Riots: A ‘stain’ on American democracy but is Trump to blame?

By Sky News

Violent scenes unfolded in Washington on Wednesday, hours before Congress had been due to confirm Joe Biden’s presidential win.

There was deadly rioting as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building after the outgoing president continued his refusal to accept the election result.

By Thursday morning we learned four people had died following clashes inside.

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, our correspondent Sally Lockwood and her news crew reflect on the events they witnessed.

We are also joined by our diplomatic editor Dominic Waghorn and former Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman as we examine the consequences of chaos at the Capitol.
