REP. GUY RESCHENTHALER, R-Pa: “During his meeting, President Trump encouraged the participants to make your voice heard, to quote, to quote, to make it peaceful and patriotic. There was no talk of violence, let alone calls to action. ”
THE FACTS: Trump’s speech was a call to action – a call to fight and save the country.
“Our country has had enough,” he told those who had brought up the violent siege of the Capitol.
“We will not take it anymore and that’s what it’s about. If we want to use a favorite term that you all really thought of, we’ll stop stealing. ‘
Reschenthaler accurately quoted a line from Trump when the president told supporters: “I know everyone here will soon be marching to the Capitol building to make your voices heard peacefully and patriotically.”
But throughout his remarks, Trump spoke of the need to “fight,” to be angry, to stop President-elect Joe Biden from adopting.
“We fight like hell and if you do not fight like hell you will not have a land anymore.”
– “We want to go back, and we want to get it right because we will have someone there who should not be there and our country will be destroyed, and we are not going to stand for it.”
– “Nobody knows what the hell is going on. There has never been such a thing. We will not allow them to silence your voices. We’re not going to let that happen. I’m not going to let that happen. The crowd repeatedly “fought for Trump!” “Thank you,” Trump said.
He attacked “weak”, “pathetic” Republicans who did not stand with him to block the election results, saying “there will be hell in the whole country” if the Democrats rob of a victory in the election is.
“But just remember that,” he continues. “You are stronger, you are smarter. You have more than anyone going on, and they try to get everyone involved, and you’re the right people. You are the people who built this nation. You are not the people who ravaged our nation. ‘
“We will not be intimidated into accepting the fraud and lies we have been forced to believe over the past few weeks.”
He voted his rebuttal stories about “voting the ballot” and thousands of dead.
– “And we must get rid of the weak people of Congress, those who are not good, the Liz Cheneys of the world, we must get rid of them. We need to get rid of them. ‘
He may have meant Republicans like Rep. To challenge Cheney of Wyoming in the by-election, saying to the crowd: ‘In a year you’re going to start working on Congress.’ But he did not say exactly what he meant by getting rid of people.
“So let’s walk through Pennsylvania Avenue,” he concluded after more than an hour.
He did not walk, but they carried Trump flags, overwhelmed police and occupied the Capitol in an hour-long rally that left five people dead and exposed Trump to the charge of an uprising.
