Trump released a statement saying there will be an orderly transition on January 20. 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, Trump said in a statement posted to Twitter by his social media director.
Twitter locked Trump s personal account after he again posted messages that contained false claims about the election and referred to those storming the Capitol as very special people. Twitter removed several posts due to a risk of violence. 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! Trump s statement continued.
As the United States Capitol Building was locked-down after protests turned to violence Wednesday, Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL14) was told to stay inside her office in the Congressional office building.
These are all statements that have been said today in observance of this treasonous act â our democracy is under attack. What we have witnessed today is heartbreaking. The United States Capitol Building, a symbol of freedom and democracy, a beacon that many Americans hold in reverence, was ambushed.Â
A presidentsâ words matter â what we are now seeing is the result of that sentiment. What we are witnessing today in our nationâs capitol is the result of unfounded, false election claims. It is the result of the president of the United States pushing debunked conspiracy theories to rally up his base. It is the result of hate.Â
