In fact, President Trump's own election security director called it the most secure election in U. S history. But for two months now, Donald Trump has refused to accept the will of the American people over and over again. He's told his supporters he didn't really lose. The election was stolen from him and from them. And as they grow anger and anger over this perceived injustice, he told him there was still a way to keep him in power. So is Congress prepared to meet for the sacred ritual of certifying the results of the presidential election? The president made his move. He directed his supporters to travel to Washington for a rally to stop the steal they did. He then once assembled, he had one final request march on the U. S. Capitol. Do what it takes to help me hold on to power. We will never give up. We will never concede. He told them you if you don't fight like hell, he warned, you're not gonna have a country anymore. The people on the Ellipse that day heard his message loud and clear. They answered his call for insurrection. As the third ranking Republican in this chamber put it. He summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack. Armed with guns, pipe bombs, bats, shield, zip ties and more. They set their sights on the U. S. Capitol. They stormed the citadel of our democracy. Hundreds of domestic terrorists did what Donald Trump wanted them to do. They seized the capital and tried to end our country's 234 year experiment in democracy as the Trump Family and White House aides What's gleefully on television. They searched the halls of this building for the vice president, who they came toe hang for treason. They overran the office of the speaker who they came to assassinate. They sought above all else to seize control of our government In the name of Donald Trump. Let that sink in. The terrorists who stormed this building plant Oh, hang. The vice president killed the speaker and topple our government. They took down the American flag and replaced it with a trump flag. I ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who are not planning to vote for this article. Is this the kind of country you wanna live in?
