Trump's video statement:

Dude can't make a video without claiming that the election was stolen from him.

Even now I can't believe him. I'm saying is that real? Is that real?

He just said he loved the people at the Capitol in that. "We love you. You're very special. But you have to go home."

 

[DORISPULASKI]

So he is insane.

25th amendment.

Not good enough - he needed to go on National TV!!!

 

[canbelto]

Still whining that the election was stolen.

 

[Polaris]

Dude can't make a video without claiming that the election was stolen from him.

90% of the video was him b!tching about the election. This will inflame his supporters.

 

[FGRSK8]

Time to go in and bust some heads. Remember, these are Trump supporters so beating them on the head will do absolutely no damage....there is nothing there to damage...

 

[rfisher]

I don't care what he says. It's far too late for that. Do your duty Congress.

Trump still lies about the election being stolen. And I found this. It's part of the reason why this riot began:

MAGA Protestors Have Stormed The Capitol With Guns. Here’s What We Know So Far (yahoo.com)

Prior to his speech, Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani also addressed the crowd, disregarding Pence’s statement: “Let’s have trial by combat!” he shouted to an enthusiastic audience. And shortly after, chaos began to ensue.

he did not condemn the actions

This is insanity. It really is 25th Amendment time. I am struggling to process that this video is real.

 

[Teamgracie]

This is unbelievable. Sickening...

Not if he's going to say shit like that.

If I was one of his slimy MAGAts, I would be inspired by this speech to continue fighting. AND HE KNOWS THAT.

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump called these violent extremists and criminals "American Patriots". But, when everyone yelled at her, she deleted her tweet and is lying she didn't say it. But the internet is forever. https://twitter.com/LawLady2019/status/1346924185990254597?s=20

True - better to get it deleted. He is totally insane!!!!!!

He wants them to keep fighting.

 

[DORISPULASKI]

Twitter should delete his account Now

This is 100% right. He intended them to hear the message to continue.

With all due respect to Biden, please stop it with the “this is not who we are” statements.

 

[canbelto]

I guess when he said "stand by and stand back" to the Proud Boys they listened.

 

[acraven]

For folks just hanging out in this thread: CNN just called the second Georgia Senate race for Ossoff.

 

[Teamgracie]

These people are not patriots, they should not be carrying flags. I’d like to send them all off to a far away land and they can shoot at each other. Where are the guards?

 

[Vagabond]

Maggie Haberman just posted this in The New York Times live blog: "The National Association of Manufacturers has issued a statement calling on Pence to 'seriously consider' working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment against the president."

 

[jenny12]

Trump says he loves terrorists and thinks they are special. Again, not a surprise but just more confirmation from the horse’s mouth.

This is probably simplifying everything but this just confirms how much Republicans are BS (and yes, Trump is you). They call BLM terrorists and then seize the capital, they call the left “special snowflakes” and then need Daddy Trump to call them special and say they are loved.

Trump supporters, white supremacy, it can’t be said enough: there has been no greater threat to this country.

 

[BlueRidge]

I didn't expect this when I started the day.

Facebook post from the organization I work for:

All the staff for the Council, which is headquartered in Washington DC, are safe and working remotely as law enforcement works to get the situation at the U.S. Capitol under control.

 

[Buzz]

This has been going on for hours and there are few signs of law enforcement

 

[Simone411]

Well, something needs to be done about Rudy Giuliani, too, for shouting "Let's have trial by combat!" to the crowd! That man is sick in the head, and look what he help to instigate!

 

[MacMadame]

Trump says he loves terrorists and thinks they are special.

If they are white...

These people are not patriots, they should not be carrying flags. I’d like to send them all off to a far away land and they can shoot at each other. Where are the guards?

The ones carrying Confederate flags are at least honest that they hate our country.

Saw some police cars half hour ago. They are overwhelmed. Police from VA and MD have come to help.
