Experts say the storming of the U.S. Capitol yesterday is the bi-product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by disinformation and conspiracy theories.

Members of the Proud Boys and other far-right groups joined the crowds that formed in Washington to cheer on President Donald Trump.
It was a chaotic scene as thousands violently occupied the Capital buildings.
Four people died as a result including one woman who was shot by Capitol police as a mob tried to break through a barricaded door.
Three others died in what's being described as ``medical emergencies.''
After the capital was cleared, lawmakers returned to the House Chamber to continue counting Electoral College votes and confirming Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Meantime, President Trump is now vowing he will leave office on January 20th in an orderly transfer of power.
