The '''2021 United States Capitol storming''', also known as '''January 6''', '''1/6''', '''capitol attack''', '''capitol riot''', '''capitol insurrection''', or the '''Attack on the Capitol''', was a violent riot that occurred in Washington D.C. on January 6 2021. During the rampage, the US Capitol building was stormed by a mob of hundreds of supporters of outgoing US President [[Donald Trump]] in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in which the Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeated Trump by 74 votes. The riots were allegedly incited by the baseless comments made by Trump, who kept on falsely complaining about the election being a widespread voter fraud, despite little to no substantiated evidence. | The '''2021 United States Capitol storming''', also known as '''January 6''', '''1/6''', '''capitol attack''', '''capitol riot''', '''capitol insurrection''', or the '''Attack on the Capitol''', was a violent riot that occurred in Washington D.C. on January 6 2021.
