Shirtless Barack Obama is pictured on his paddle board in Hawaii days before Capitol violence - as he hits out at 'great dishonor and shame' of MAGA mob invasion

A shirtless Barack Obama has been paddle boarding over the calm Hawaiian waves thousands of miles away from the storm in Washington DC. 

The 59-year-old former president, who accused Donald Trump of inciting yesterday's carnage which left four dead, was pictured in a pair of swimming trunks gliding across Kailua Bay on Monday.

But Obama took to Twitter last night to condemn his White House successor for bringing 'dishonor and shame' to the seat of America's democracy as hundreds of Trump supporters broke into the Capitol Building.

'History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation,' Obama wrote.

He added: 'But we'd be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise.'

Obama remained largely silent on the scene taking place in D.C. on January 6 – the same day Congress moved to certify the election for Joe Biden, who served as Obama's vice president for eight years.

He weighed in, finally, around 8.00pm, as the massive scene at the Capitol dissipated and Congress continued their joint session to accept the Electoral College results six hours behind schedule.

'Here's my statement on today's violence at the Capitol,' Obama wrote in a tweet with an image of his statement attached. 

'Their Republicans' fantasy narrative has spiralled further and further fro reality, and it builds upon years of resentment,' Obama wrote. 'Now we're seeing the consequences, whipped up in a violent crescendo.'

After listening to Trump speak at the Ellipse Wednesday afternoon, thousands of supporters marched from there to Capitol Hill, where they were able to successfully breach the Capitol and obstruct Congress from their duty to certify the election.

The Capitol immediately went on lockdown, and lawmakers escorted from their respective chambers.

Obama said he feels optimistic that members of the GOP are turning against the president, claiming: 'We need more leaders like these.'
