Donald Trump Should Pay For Damages to US Capitol Hill, Says New York Senate Candidate

US President Donald Trump must pay for the damages inflicted on the Capitol Hill building in Washington, claimed Khaled Salem, who is running for the US Senate in New York. The statement comes days after media reports said that US taxpayers will be paying for the damages to the building caused by the violent riot and enhanced securities processes in the future.

In an official statement on Monday, January 11, 2021, Mr Salem urged all Americans to file lawsuit against the current President for “violence”, “vandalism” and “destructive consequences” spewed by Mr Trump’s followers.

“Why should we shoulder this burden?” questioned Mr Salem, while condemning the anti-democratic riot.

Highlighting the irony, Mr Salem –who is gearing up to contest the US Senate 2022 polls – said that the protestors were demanding democracy but acting out via “fascist tactics”.

The riots were allegedly prompted by Mr Trump, after he incited his supporters to storm the Capital Hill to overturn his defeat in the US presidential election of 2020 and stop the Congress from officially declaring Democrat Joe Biden’s Presidential election victory.

The mob violence claimed five lives and at least 60 injured.
