On the recordJanuary 11, 2021
Donald Trump called his support his show up on January 6, because that's when Congress was going to formalize his loss and Joe Biden's when, he then gave a speech telling them that the election was stolen. He told him to stop this deal, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, go to the Capitol and to fight like hell, and they listened. And the person responsible for inciting this insurrection is Donald Trump. That's why we need to remove him from office as soon as possible.
