Hours after pro-Donald Trump rioters rampaged through the US Capitol building, followed by an overnight session to certify Joe Biden’s victory, New Jersey representative Andy Kim was seen crouched down on the floor in a widely-shared photo, cleaning up the mess left by the mob.
As soon as business resumed, members had to walk back to the joint session of the Congress amid the trail of destruction left by the mob after the attack on the historic building. The shocking images showed furniture and windows broken, water bottles littering the ground, offices vandalised, and flags dumped in the dustbins.
The third district congressman was photographed in the US Capitol Rotunda helping the workers who had been working for hours to clean the debris.
“I was just really affected emotionally. I felt this kind of heightened, kind of supercharged, kind of patriotism that I just felt take over,” the Associate Press quoted him as saying.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel how can we ever assert our power in any situation or crises that arises in the world? We have been punked down and sent to the rear of the class. We need serious damage control. Official will need to take a hard line, in order, to save face.
