Australians have expressed their disgust after Donald Trump supporters waved the national flag while storming the US Capitol in a bid to stop the transition of power to president-elect Joe Biden. One female protester died after a gunshot hit her chest in the Capitol building, allegedly fired by a Capitol Police officer. Among the sea of confederate and American flags, a lone Australian flag was seen being waved by a protester outside the Capitol building. Australians took to social media to slam the Trump supporter who proudly displayed our flag at the violent rally, which has drawn widespread criticism. Trump ordered National Guard and federal forces to deploy to the Capitol after his supporters overran U.S. Capitol Police and gained illegal entry into the building on Wednesday.
