President-elect Joe Biden branded the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol not a protest, but “domestic terrorism.” Easy to see coming, he said, and still met with a lax police response. “If it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they would have been treated very, very differently,” Biden said Thursday.
