Biden 'will destroy our nation,' heavily armed Trump supporters hit US streets

Supporters of US President Donald Trump, some of whom are heavily armed, have hit the streets, including in the states of Georgia and Arizona and Pennsylvania, which his rival, now President-elect Joe Biden, flipped.

"You've come heavily armed as if you're going to war,” Sky News Special Correspondent Alex Crawford is heard telling some of the Trump supporters, whose leader has allegedly lost the presidential race but would not accept the results.

They said it is "for security,” warning that Biden "will destroy our nation.”

There was reportedly a similar situation in the states of Arizona and Pennsylvania.

A time for optimism perhaps, but not a time for complacency. Armed partisans at a voting centre is not what we should see in a civilized democracy.

Trump has claimed that he has secured 71 million votes and that his observers were not allowed into the polling places.

“71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!" tweeted the president.

THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!

The Democratic nominee gained over the 270 electoral votes needed for US presidency.

Some of the US allies are, meanwhile, congratulating Biden for his victory in the election, disregarding Trump’s challenging of the results.
