What was under attack from Donald Trump supporters on Wednesday wasn’t just the US Capitol Building but also its complex history, political legacy, and democracy.
The US Vice President-elect joins a growing number of elected officials and doctors who have received vaccine on camera to show Americans the shots are safe.
The magazine chose the US President-elect and Vice President-elect over other finalists including frontline workers, the Movement for Racial Justice, and Anthony Fauci.
Trump recently has begun shifting focus away from his long-shot efforts to overturn the 2020 election results & toward a bid for the Republican nomination in the next election.
Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer discussed the surge in Covid cases & the corresponding economic strain that communities and small businesses are experiencing.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin had earlier declined to congratulate Biden, saying the election's outcome must be determined by the US' laws and procedures.
Lord Kilclooney deleted the tweet and withdrew his remarks, but insisted it wasn't racist — he called her 'the Indian' because he didn't know her name.

In a widely diverse Nation such as India and the USA, such mob actions should be expected. I am not saying they should happen. But rest assured they will happen. The important point is to move on and not dwell on such incidents too much. Easier said than done, when the media too is diverse, what with expert opinions and views of “formers” etc. All Americans are not like those in the MOB that attacked the Capitol. Even some in that mob are not invaders – it was planned by some and rest was mob frenzy.
Here is something more dangerous that happens in the wake of such incidents. It is all too evident in India. For instance, take this headline in another article in The Print.
“Before desi cow exam, Indians should study how to not kill dolphins and elephants for fun”. This precludes that I and probably 135.16 Nationals like me are NOT Indians. We know where such devious thoughts are coming from.
I fervently hope that “experts” and activists do not speak for me – I am also an Indian. Likewise, desist from painting all Americans with the same brush as those”rioters”.
The US Capitol has been attacked at least one other time – back in the 1950s, pro-independence activists from the US colony of Puerto Rico came in and shot five Congress members. But it’s rare, and this has been shocking to all of us.

What you saw on capitol has its roots in Obama ascendency.
Going forward the threat to US is not external but internal.
