President-elect Joe Biden called the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress met to certify his election a group of “domestic terrorists” who would have been treated much more harshly if they represented Black Lives Matter.

“No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn’t have been treated very, very differently from the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol. We all know that’s true and it is unacceptable. Totally unacceptable,” Biden said, jabbing his finger on the lectern from which he spoke in Wilmington, Delaware.
