Donell Harvin warns that the US is “so busy looking in the rearview mirror" that it is “not looking at the threat that’s right in front of us.”

The US, the self-proclaimed flag-bearer of democracy, was dealt a devastating blow to its image by insurrectionists, apparently encouraged by the President, storming the Capitol Building in an attempt to overturn the result of a democratic election.

The democracy that the US claims to be the flag-bearer received a huge blow when the insurrection took place and protesters stormed the Capital Building.

Democrats and the US mainstream media are trying to reap political dividends from the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, according to a former American spy and whistleblower.

Jacob Chansley was the face of the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol after pictures of him - wearing face paint with a horned head-dress and no shirt – emerged from inside the building.
