Statement by President Donald J. Trump on the Electoral Certification:
— Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) January 7, 2021
“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our...
...fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”
— Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) January 7, 2021
Yet he still needs to be 25th’d. As if he hadn’t already committed enough atrocities to warrant it, the riot in DC should be a non-negotiable act. He shouldn’t be able to weasel his way out of repercussions.

During his rally yesterday, Trump encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol. His personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani told them: “Let's have trial by combat.”

Within hours, rioters violently occupied the Capitol. Four people died. https://t.co/BQBWacc6fC pic.twitter.com/YGU3HqkUMn
I think of myself as pretty prescient about Trump stuff. But, damn, this is one helluva thread. Not only predicts the insurrection yesterday but the precise modalities and triggers. The mob was clearly there for trouble from the start. And I suspect we'll find out much more ... https://t.co/VNa0WkR54M

We've already moved past "Antifa did it" to "they thought the Capitol was 'open.'" Do you usually break windows, chase down police, then rappel down balconies to get into WalMart? https://t.co/jQbbiiRlhA

Right-wing narrative re yesterday’s domestic terror is classic victim-blaming, abuser’s rationale for domestic violence: “look what you made me do” https://t.co/AgsCc40ABA
Pete Hegseth published a book last year called American Crusader that literally calls for the “annihilation” of the Left. He has helped build the ideology from which Trump loyalists’ anger manifests. https://t.co/oJC9HtTOWP

These scandals have a common pattern where for the first 24 hours it looks like Republicans are finally going to stand up to Trump. Then, as right-wing media starts to recast the narrative, they revert back to supporting him. We've seen this dozens of times now.

In what other country can you violently storm the Capitol, and then retire for the evening to the Grand Hyatt for a nightcap and a good night's sleep? https://t.co/USDzniYZen

Well, now authorities know who they are. They should be arrested and charged, at a minimum:
— Modre Oci (@modre13) January 7, 2021
40 USC §5104(e)(1)(B) & §5109 make it a federal crime to enter the floor of either House of Congress through the use of force and violence.
They can hire lawyers & have their day in court.
The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.

Charlottesville: “Very fine people.”

Proud Boys: “Stand back and stand by.”
Terrorist attack on the Capitol: “We love you.” @realDonaldTrump wants violence and chaos. He sees this as a useful tool to exploit and a sign of affection and support from his followers.
Good for him. 👏 https://t.co/dwKcCabpEK
