“Our democracy is the victim of an unprecedented aggression”: Joe Biden denounces the irruption of demonstrators on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump invites them to “return home”

Here is the gist of what Joe Biden said, translated on the fly:

“At this time, our democracy is the victim of unprecedented aggression. An aggression against the Capitol, an aggression against the representatives of the people (…) What is happening on Capitol Hill does not represent who we are, does not reflect the reality of America. (…) A small number of extremists, of seditious, sowed disorder, chaos. It has to stop now.

I call on this crowd to back down and I call on President Turmp to come and speak on national television to defend the Constitution and demand that this stop. (…) All this is not a demonstration, it is an insurrection. During the next four years, we will have to restore democracy, decency, honor. Our democracy is fragile, it must be preserved. “
