Rather than delivering a live address like President Biden, Trump opted for a pre-recorded video. He urged the rioters to disperse, echoing the pleas of many who were present at Capitol Hill. However, his initial remarks were focused on the false narrative of a stolen election: “I know you’re feeling pain. We had an election that was taken from us. It was a landslide victory, and everyone is aware of that.“
He continued, “You must return home now. We need peace. We need law and order,” concluding with, “Go home peacefully.” Despite calling for calm, Trump reiterated debunked claims about the November election being fraudulent, even as a woman, appearing to be a Trump supporter, was shot.
Earlier that day, he had spoken at a “Save America” rally, where he encouraged his supporters, including far-right groups, by saying, “You don’t concede when theft is involved. Our nation has had enough, and we will not tolerate this anymore.” His encouragement led many to march towards the Capitol to support Congress members objecting to the Electoral College votes from states he lost.
In his video message, Trump refrained from denouncing the rioters for storming the Capitol. While he had previously tweeted for them to avoid violence, he did not specifically instruct them to leave the building. Just a short distance from the rally, hundreds of supporters clashed with police, broke windows, and invaded the Capitol, where they replaced American flags with Trump flags and took photographs inside the chambers.
A curfew was imposed in Washington, D.C., from 6 PM until 6 AM the following day. Shortly after posting his video, Twitter labeled it with a warning, making it unsharable and disabling comments.
“This was a fraudulent election,” Trump stated in the video. “But we cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated by these individuals. We need peace. So, go home. We appreciate you. You’re unique. You’ve witnessed the unfair treatment of others who are truly bad and evil. I understand your feelings. But please, go home and do so peacefully.“
What a truly troubling situation.
