Pope Francis said on Saturday people working against democracy must be condemned whoever they are, and lessons should be learned from this week’s attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump.

Supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump leave the Capitol building after being tear gassed during a “Stop the Steal” protest outside of the Capitol building in Washington D.C. U.S. Jan. 6, 2021.

VATICAN CITY — Rioters surged into the building on Wednesday after Trump urged them to go the Capitol and press his baseless claims that he won re-election in November. Five people including a police officer died in the ensuing chaos.“I was astonished because they are people so disciplined in democracy,” the pontiff told Italy’s Canale 5 news channel in his first public comments on the events.

“There is always something that isn’t working … people taking a path against the community, against democracy, against the common good,” the pope said.
