  • I'd like to close with a very brief timeline of what was happening in parallel alongside the president as he spoke on the sixth of January.

  • A little afternoon, President Trump began his speech with a fiery refusal to concede.

  • He commanded the crowd to fight.

  • In March, down Pennsylvania Avenue and around 12 20 some rally goers, some attendees began marching by 12 30.

  • As President, Trump continued to incite his supporters.

  • Large segments of the rally crowd had a mascot, the capital, at 12 53 as the president's speech was playing on cell phone broadcasts, theme outermost barricade of the northwest side of the capital was breached and Capitol police were forced back to the steps of the Capitol.

  • At 1 10, the president ended his speech with a final call to fight and a final order to march to the capital.

  • At 1 45 the president's followers surged past Capitol police, shouting, This is a revolution!

  • Just after 2 10, an hour after President Trump ended his speech, the insurrectionist mob overwhelmed capital security and made it inside the halls of Congress because the truth is, this attack never would have happened.

  • But for Donald Trump.

  • And so they came draped in Trump's flag and used our flag, the American flag to batter and to bludgeoned and a 2 30.

  • I heard that terrifying banging on house chamber doors.

  • For the first time in more than 200 years, the seat of our government was ransacked on our watch.

I'd like to close with a very brief timeline of what was happening in parallel alongside the president as he spoke on the sixth of January.
