Joe Biden says US Capitol 'terrorists' must be hunted down as FBI launches nationwide search

Telegraph, 09 Jan 2021
Joe Biden said the mob who invaded the US Capitol should be hunted down and brought to justice as the FBI began a nationwide search for the intruders.

The president-elect said they should be treated as a "bunch of thugs, anti-Semites and white supremacists."

He added: "They're terrorists. Domestic terrorists. the fact is they should be prosecuted. The difference here is this had the active encouragement of a sitting President of the United States."

It came as many of those who roamed the corridors of power, including the so-called "QAnon shaman," had already left Washington for their home states.
