President Donald Trump reiterated his call for protesters to “go home with love & peace” in a tweet after explaining that the nation should expect chaos in response to election fraud.
These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

Twitter users immediately claimed that Trump was justifying violence.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy. condemned the protest at the Capitol, according to a press release.
“We have very deep and clear political differences in this country, but we don’t resolve those differences by mob violence,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what side of those issues you stand on.”
Cheney, however, had no intention of addressing widespread election fraud through the political process. She plans to vote in favor of fraudulently certified Electoral College votes.
