After a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, President Donald Trump told them he knows their pain, but urged them to leave.
“We had an election that was stolen from us,” Trump said in a video posted to Twitter. “It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side, but you have to go home now, we have to have peace.”
Trump posted the brief video several hours after the crowd forced its way into the Capitol and disrupted proceedings to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential race.
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021
Trump repeated his baseless claims of a fraudulent, stolen election several times in the video, while at the same time telling his supporters to leave the Capitol.

Members of the House of Representatives and Senate had moved to their respective chambers to begin debating objections to certifying Biden’s win earlier today. The pro-Trump crowd soon forced its way inside the Capitol after a rally at which Trump encouraged them to head to the building to protest today’s session.

The crowd clashed with police, broke windows and doors and tore down security fencing. Some of the mob eventually entered the House and Senate chambers and brought the certification session to a halt.
“We love you. You’re very special,” Trump said in the Twitter video. “Go home in peace.”

It could have been antifa, posing as Trump supporters, who did the damage in the Capitol. The Fake News will never investigate, because all they do is accuse, with no investigation.
Everything we conservatives do, is wrong in their eyes, while everying blm/antifa does is good…
THAT SHOWS JUST HOW they will treat any act we do, regardless of if it was caused by us or not..
BUT I CAN’T believe, trumps giving up like this… I just can’t.
AND IF HE THINKS He’s gonna get my vote in 2024 (assuming he tries to run again), he’s SORELY MISTAKEN!
Just who in blazes you going vote for? Jeb?
NO One. NONE Of those in the GOP, are worthy of my vote.. NOT a single ******* one of them.
And since Trump, seems to be caving in too, HE has lost my vote too.
Hence why i am REMOVING my name from the voter rolls.
I think it was probably started by paid professional agitators posing as Trump supporters.
you mean like soros , the obamas , the clintons , zuckerberg , big tech , big pharma , the russians , the chinese?
