The overall impact of the defendant's speech - particularly in light of months of statements and Tweets falsely claiming election fraud and following on the heels of [CO-CONSPIRATOR #1 ] and [CO-CONSPIRATOR #2] speeches was to fuel the crowd's anger. For instance, when the defendant told his supporters
that “[w]e will not let them silence your voices. We're not going to let it happen," the crowd chanted, "Fight for Trump," in response. When the defendant soon after told supporters that "we're going to walk down to the Capitol," that they would “never take back our country with weakness," and that they had "to show strength and [had] to be strong," members of the crowd shouted, "Invade the Capitol building!” and, “Take the Capitol!" Thousands of the defendant's supporters obeyed his directive and marched to the Capitol, where the certification proceeding began around 1:00 p.m.
You MAGA morons should be so proud, eh?
