Biden: Insurrectionists 'need nukes' to take on US government
President Joe Biden says at the White House that insurrectionists would need a lot more than guns to take on the US government because it is equipped with a nuclear arsenal and war planes.
Critics fired back that Mr Biden's remark undercut claims by his fellow Democrats that America almost lost its democracy in January's Capitol riot by mostly unarmed Trump supporters.
