On Wednesday, Americans from every state gathered in the hundreds of thousands to support President Donald Trump as Congress certified the Electoral College vote amid unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud.
Multiple speakers addressed the masses, including U.S. Reps. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones — who announced his party switch from Democrat to Republican, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Rudy Giuliani, among others.
The president addressed the giant crowd of peaceful protesters, who lined up since the wee hours of the morning to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other Americans. Some attendees told American Action News that they had met people from every state but Hawaii (yet) who came out to support President Trump. Many people dressed up for the occasion, with one man with a white beard channeling Santa Claus with a red Santa hat. Another man was decked out in an Uncle Sam outfit, while many dressed in colonial-era and Civil War-era attire.
During the president’s speech, Trump detailed allegations of systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election.
“We will never give up. We will never concede; it doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved,” said the president. He referenced election controversies, including suspect absentee ballot requests and concerns surrounding residency requirements for voting, a problem where people decide to cast a ballot back in a swing state they used to live or had a ballot cast in their name without their knowledge.
Trump also warned Republican members of Congress to fight against the election results, or “we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. … We’re gonna let you know who they are.”
During the speech, Trump reiterated his call for Vice President Mike Pence to object to the Electoral College vote. “Mike Pence, I hope you’re gonna stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country,” said President Trump. “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.” Before Congress met to certify the results, Pence conceded that he did not have the “unilateral authority” to do so.
Pence explained himself in the following statement: “Some believe that as Vice President, I should be able to accept or reject electoral votes unilaterally. Others believe that electoral votes should never be challenged in a Joint Session of Congress. After a careful study of our Constitution, our laws, and our history, I believe neither view is correct. He continued, “Our Founders were deeply skeptical of concentrations of power and created a Republic based on separation of powers and checks and balances under the Constitution of the United States. Vesting the Vice President with unilateral authority to decide presidential contests would be entirely antithetical to that design.”
After the rally, President Trump directed the hundreds of thousands of attendees to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol building and give Republicans “The kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”
The giant crowd marched to the U.S. Capitol en masse, walking shoulder-to-shoulder, as the streets were packed full of Trump supporters.
As protesters approached the Capitol building, some climbed atop monuments, while others began climbing the 2021 inauguration platform’s scaffolding. According to American Action News, Capitol Police officers began shooting canisters of tear gas at members of the crowd, hoping to disperse the relatively small number who had begun getting unruly the closer they got to the building. Once protesters climbed atop one of the highest points of the scaffolding, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.
En route to the Capitol, giant American flags were passed along the crowd toward the building to be used as shields against tear gas. One of the flags was successfully hoisted onto one of the high platforms, and at that point, supporters cheered.
Many walked away from the Capitol building with red faces and tears in their eyes, the inevitable result of being affected by tear gas. One man told American Action News that a rubber bullet hit him as he staggered away from the crowd.
A group close to the inaugural platform brought an audio speaker up the steps, and multiple individuals used microphones to lead the crowd in the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner, while others gave words of encouragement to those who needed it. Once some protesters got the news that the Capitol had been breached and a group got inside, the larger crowd further out erupted again — unaware of the violence that would result from those rioters.
On the other side of the Capitol, facing toward the Supreme Court, people were standing atop an armored vehicle placed directly in front of the Capitol’s main stairway. Thousands of people were climbing the steps when someone shouted that a woman was shot in the neck. That woman, 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, a 14-year Air Force veteran from San Diego died later that night.
Crowds began thinning out after 5:30 p.m. as Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s 6:00 p.m. curfew rapidly approached.
Four people died on the Capitol grounds while the interior of the building was assaulted. The Metropolitan Police Department revealed the three other individuals’ identities earlier today: Kevin Greeson, 55, of Athens, Alabama; Benjamin Phillips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania; and Roseanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia. Fourteen police officers were injured. It could have been even worse. Two pipe bombs and a long gun were found in a car next to the Republican National Committee headquarters. A cooler of Molotov cocktails were discovered nearby. All before they could be used.
According to USA Today, most of the 52 total arrests last night occurred due to curfew violations. The FBI’s digital media team announced Thursday at 1:15 pm that it’s currently looking for Capitol rioters through social media websites. Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen says more arrests are coming.
Amazing how many lies you can pack in a small space.
I stopped at “unsubstantiated” which is a damn lie.
I concur 100%! If there are thousands of accounts of voting fraud and many witnesses that signed affidavits by which are subjected to lawful punishment for lying, unsubstantiated is not the proper term to use! A lack of voter integrity is on the rise in America because of corruption in our government at state and federal levels! By the mere sense of local state and federal government’s, to not fully investigate the very obvious abnormalities and unlawful voting processes, is criminal in itself! Unless law and order can be restored at all levels throughout our country, America will cease to exist!
Mike two pence ain’t worth fitty.
Now yuo know he was a rat all along. As for his praying and Psalm 91all an act!
Come on you guys he had to follow the Constitution other wise what were we fighting for. America needs to be safe our laws need to be followed BY Everyone rioting Bad Marching for A Purpose Good we saw The Riots All Summer and still going on today there is a right way and a wrong way. Always♥️🇱🇷🙏 God Bless America 🇱🇷🎉🥳🎊
summer
So what did he get the silver coin for ? Trump didn’t give it to him .
The socialist dems forgot how many Americans had their lives destroyed by the riots by the demorats buddies. The Civil unrest isn’t going to stop unfortunately.
you did not arrest antifa or blm why start now are you7 all communists
And they were all antifa buddies of Pelosi, Pence, and McConnell who formed a coup against Trump! They are the cause of these riots posing as Trump supporters to make us look bad! Did they give a damn about the lives that was lost or hurting the people? HELL NO! They only thought of themselvrs! Well their time us being exposed and they along with that fraudulent puppet Biden and Obama as well!
I so hope so. Though according to people like Patton Oswald, we’re not official terrorists.
I’m betting the trouble makers were the same paid agitators used to incite the rioting/looting this summer.
I bet you are absolutely correct! God bless America! God bless President Trump!
The police did not arrest those in the capitol building and those doing damage. What kind of police forces are we training. Now there is no way of determining how many Antifa people were in the crowd. Good going guys. And you expect to be able to tamp down violence when those causing violence are not apprehended.
Pence is/was President of the Senate there is nothing he couldn’t do there. Especially bullshit as we’ve seen.
Pence had the authority to have the disputed electoral votes go back to the state electors. No one asked him to decide!!
ANTIFA is everywhere thanks to Soros and the Dems!
I really don’t think there is that many of them. The same ones are paid to go from one place to another. I would love to track their $.
It sound like a amazing gathering of hundreds of thousands of people, all across the country to support our beloved President Trump, against the blatant steal of this election. I don’t need President Trump, to convince me, that this election was stolen from him. Plus, in no way did he ever urge the crowd to occupy the Capital Building, Yet l, you hear the fake liberal media, your turn coat pseudo Republicans, your crazy
socialist Democrats, ready to jump on Trump. Yet, they did not utter one word this year, with the Leftist Socialist Thugs, rampage, burning, looting our Curtis last year, not a word. We need to support, plus stand up for our beloved President, who has fought this battle nearly alone. I cannot wait until 2022, do I can help get rid of all the Republican Politicians, that either failed to back our President, or betrayed him. I hope they get ready to be unemployed
Ron Paul actually maid sense to me today saying our best hope is take back control of town and state governments. I hate that my local radio stations focus on national instead of local tics.
Dan Crenshaw also made the same valid point about the need to address the election laws on the local/state level.
And blogs like this one is Censoring Americans
Donald should start a new political party called the American Republic . Many millions of voters would switch from the old Republican Party and probably many sensible democrats would join in as well. That would get rid of the existing dead wood in the Republican Party and build a strong pro America first party.
Acting attorney general Rosen it would be a shame for peaceful protesters, to be charges, because you see the real thugs antifa blmers never got so much as a warning after destroying multiple cities and holding citizens hostage in their own homes for many months , beating up innocent old people because they could and the mayors and governors of these states did absolutely nothing to protect the innocent. The only one who got the blame for these commie loving states who offered help to them was President Trump, all because President Trump WON the election in 2016 against Clinton, who by the way All America hated! All these people are guilty of is violating a curfew brought on by one of the lefties her city her rules by her own words!
Hundreds of thousandfs? I doubt it. But exaggerate as you will; it still won’t whitewash the seditious violence. Read the Constituion
I’m proud of the patriots. It’s time to kick ass.
ok for ye to PEACEFULLY PROTEST but not we?
Portland/Seatle were truly seditious actions.
I’ve read it. Have you? Specifically enumerates personal freedoms such as speech, assembly and redress of grievances against the govt. We The People are the bosses — elected officials work for us, not the other way around.
Pence’s political career is over. He just doesn’t know it yet.
Pence has betrayed Donald Trump and the American people.
Look at the people who penetrated the Capitol . They were dressed in Black >.Antifa .I wager all violent acts were committed by them not Trump Supporters .
Think about who benefitted the most from what occurred–Democrats benefitted by the disruption of the hearings about election fraud and the spotlight being taken completely off those hearings.
This was planned by the democrats who enlisted the same thugs that caused the riots, looting, destruction and killings during the Antifa – BLM rampages in the democrat cities for most of 2020. They are pure evil !
How unfortunate that young woman was shot and ultimately died..a veteran of the USAF. The fake media did not report that shooting solely, only on a multiple basis!
.I wonder what would have transpired if that was a black woman, and I also think that had it been a black woman, BLM and ANTIFA WOULD HAVE BEEN RIOTING THROUGHOUT THE U.S. TODAY!! I am so tired of the hipocracy of the SOCIALISTS. They want to blame Trump for the Capital root and have him tried and arrested, isn’t that what they do in Communist/Socialist Countries?? Then the Dictator takes over forever!!!!
exactlty who authorized a Capital Police office to shoot and murder this woman?…How was his or her life in such imminent danger that the only recourse was to kill her?. Did he have a body camera?..why was he the only Capital police officer who fired his weapon?..what action did she do that merited taking her life?……..these are all questions that need to be answered……….Can you even remotely imagine the carnage, looting and rioting that would be happening right now if she had been a BLACK woman and a NLM protester that was killed?….
Her killing was intentional, which is first degree murder. She did nothing to warrant such action. She loved her country and served in the US Air Force and it was this love of country that brought her to Washington. We must honor her sacrifice and remember her always as a true and loyal American. Bless her wonderful heart.
“Two pipe bombs and a long gun were found in a car next to the Republican National Committee headquarters. A cooler of Molotov cocktails were discovered nearby. “
What makes more sense — these items were put there by Trump Supporters or that paid Antifa agitators employed the same tactics that they did during the summer when they had pallets of bricks, frozen water bottles and bats delivered to strategic locations to fuel the “peaceful protest” riots? I’m going with the latter!
People can only take so much.
Are you kidding. There is a huge amount of voter fraud. I’m ashamed to have liked your site.
The fraud is there if you want to find the documents. This is the only riot talked about that the news wants to share. How about all the other riots by Antifa and BLM groups paid by the deep state and Soros. Those that caused the harm, violence and deaths were planted Antifa, plus Trump’s speech couldn’t have incited the people to bring bombs and guns BEFORE he ever made the speech. Stop Printing Lies We are tired of it
Why did the Police shoot and Kill this Un-Armed Woman wearing a Trump Hat. There was no reason whatsoever to shoot anybody.
Pence, A spy in Sheep’s Clothing.
Funny how Police gas innocent patriots but allowed Antifa and BLM to do as they pleased? Trashing streets, toppling statues, burning a Church, motor cars etc. Antifa dressed as MAGA supporters but wore their caps backwards. It was all planned. Millions gathered all morning and their was absolute peace and no problems until the busloads of Antifa arrived. Now Social media are banning any photo proof of what happened
How much Piglosi, sanders and Soros paid Antifa punks too interrupt PROTEST? How much money . How much money Hollywierd dumbbok twitdick and others low life traitors paid to sanders warriors to storm capital? Not like Capital is Pelosi sanctuary San Fran
Why there was not adequate police presents? Who defund police? Maybe maxine old frog waters with her dirty mounth.
Our country has been taken over by communist China and the damn democrats….there will be no more free speech…no more Americans will be able to vote for the candidates of their choice….our great nation is doomed…because the Republicans have never had a backbone until Trump ….and now, even Trump has excepted defeat….Martial Law should have been declared immediately after the stolen Presidential election…but I assume Trump took the advice of treasonous back stabbers and now look what has happened….you just can’t trust anyone anymore…
I believe Trump is making a huge mistake …he should declare martial law immediately…then he could order examinations of all the dominion machines and the illegal votes…the military would be called in , to do whatever is necessary to save our country from this illegal election and the take over of our country….no wonder the Dems were so confident before both elections …they knew it was a rigged election…it is so obvious…
Remember folks it ain’t the 20th yet
I had to stop reading as well as it was full if crap. I’m getting away from this rag. Report trash, I’ll trash it.
Where was the outrage, the call for the National Guard, the instructions to Police to act against the protesters, etc., etc., when BLM were destroying buildings, burning cars and property, looting, overtaking by force a city area, and assaulting and killing police and others without the enforcement of a curfew, while the media and Democrats were calling their actions “protests rather than “riots?” Where was the actual media coverage? Why have all media suppress the real news and censored everything other than those comments made in favor of Democrats/Communists actions? PEOPLE WAKE UP! Censorship, suppression of religious activities, voter fraud, and suppression of our Constitutional rights are all the path to Communism! WAKE UP AMERICA!
before arresting any one at this protest the so call officers shouls arrest evey one involsed in the so call protest that happen in the summer of 2020 bring them to justice first and not intill then if not leave these people alone they haved done far lesl to hurt this country , the liberal democratics have don far worst they have attack republicans and other and theirs businesses in more harmful and shameful ways .
The guys on the scaffolds amping up the crowd were Antifa..
