President Trump retweeted a video in which a supporter says, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”
He followed this up by referring to riots in Minneapolis and saying, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Trump, January 6th
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal.”
“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”
“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
“And Mike Pence, I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. And if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you. I will tell you right now. I’m not hearing good stories.”
