The Capitol Mob Was Only The Finale Of Trump’s Conspiracy To Overturn The Election Trump s incitement of the Jan. 6 riot, which is now the subject of an impeachment trial, was just one part of his scheme to subvert democracy.
The mood was already tense in Detroit’s expansive ballot-counting hall when President Trump tweeted on Nov. 4 that “a terrible thing” was “happening” in Michigan.
It was the third day of processing ballots, and that morning Chris Thomas had heard a weird rumor traveling around the counting floor.
A fellow election worker told Thomas, who was advising Detroit on its election after serving for 36 years as the state’s election director, that calls were welling on social media and email listservs urging local Republican “volunteers” to come down to the TCF Center, the massive conference hall where Thomas and his colleagues were hard at work.
President Trump posted a message to Democrats and RINO Republicans on Twitter Tuesday evening, urging them to pay attention to the "thousands of people pouring into D.C." to protest the "stolen" presidential election results up for certification.
