states to enter the capital of the united states to sure this is in the capital of the united states so this united states is is shocked people are in all. and now obviously everybody's waiting what is going to happen during the night here in washington but also in other cities we mustn't forget that. other or many political officials specially from the. democratic party face threats throughout the last weeks and days so we sure now the big story is happening here in the united states but we might just as well also see kaos in riots in other parts of this country. now let's bring in will a group clue kroft d.w. reporter well you covered the u.s. election last year extensively and of course what we've seen today has been unprecedented but does this come as a surprise to you. no it doesn't i mean just listen to the rhetoric sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me this is not a true statement words do have power they have a simple symbolic weight and symbols can lead to actions and we're seeing that you know if if you're calling the other side pure evil if you'
