And while he said those who would march to the Capitol after his speech should “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” his speech was also littered with allusions to the protesters having the power to stop what Congress was doing - and indeed, that he was counting on them to do so.Īll of it will be at issue in the looming impeachment proceedings, but it’s also worth an in-depth look at precisely what Trump said shortly before the historic siege of the Capitol. The speech must also be viewed in the context of a president who has often alluded to the idea that his supporters might one day get violent. He urged his supporters to “fight” and “fight like hell” and lamented that they didn’t do so as hard as Democrats. But it included plenty of allusions to the idea that Congress accepting Joe Biden’s victory - an all-but-assured outcome at the time - was a result that simply couldn’t be countenanced and must be stopped. Trump’s speech included no overt calls for his supporters to actually enter the Capitol or resort to violent means. And others have said Trump went too far in his fiery speech to protesters that preceded their storming of the Capitol. But even many of his Republican allies have tied it to his long-running, baseless claims about a stolen election.
Trump’s culpability for the violence is the topic of much debate. On Monday, they introduced a single article of impeachment alleging that Trump incited the violent attempted insurrection at the U.S.
Democrats are on the verge of impeaching President Trump again.
