Trump supporters are now being challenged over why they are so heavily armed on the streets after Joe Biden's winning. 



Sky News journalist Alex Crawford confronted the men, who were carrying guns as well as wearing camouflage and what looked like bulletproof vests.

Alex spotted Trump's supporters walking on the streets of Georgia and Atlanta and ran over to them asking: "Excuse me sir, you're a Trump supporter - can you tell me why you've come dressed like this?"



The unnamed man replied: "For security."



The journalist then asks, what is there to feel insecure about? To which he replies: "On our rights, on the people."

Alex further confronted the man, adding: "But you've come heavily armed as if you're going to war," at which point the man looked towards a group of Biden supporters, saying: "You didn't see them all day today, heavily armed?"

Adding on to this, Alex then asks the man to share his fears, and he replied: "My fears are that they're going to destroy this nation."


Following next, police moved in to separate the two different groups of supporters. 


As they were leaving, Alex said: "You can see several heavily armed men, all of them Trump supporters and all of them carrying pistols, long range rifles. Everything."

Edging closer to the group, she once again asks "Why have you come dressed like this, why have you come so heavily armed?"



A man in a Trump jumper simply replied: "Constitutional rights."

Joe Biden has officially claimed victory in US elections on November 7, 2020, after securing the state of Pennsylvania - taking his electoral college vote to 284 and passing the 270 needed to win.



After it was announced that Biden is to become the 46th US President, he tweeted: "America, I'm honoured that you have chosen me to lead our great country.




"The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans - whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me."
