Watch: Trump supporters tried to break down the U.S. Capitol doors today as the building was forced into lockdown during Congress' certification of President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. Live updates:

Fox News, which had been carrying the remarks live, dropped its feed of the rally after the expletives uttered by the president's son aired uncensored.President Donald Trump’s eldest sons threatened Republican lawmakers at a large rally outside the White House on Wednesday, pledging that their family would continue to dispute the results of the 2020 election just hours before Congress was set to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

“To those Republicans, many of which may be voting on things in the coming hours: You have an opportunity today,” Donald Trump Jr. told the crowd gathered for the “Save America March” on the White House Ellipse. “You can be a hero, or you can be a zero. And the choice is yours. But we are all watching. The whole world is watching, folks. Choose wisely.”

Several House Republicans and roughly a dozen senators have announced plans to object to individual states’ electoral vote counts when Congress meets for a joint session this afternoon. And though their effort to reverse the election’s outcome has virtually no chance of succeeding, the president had applied increasing public pressure on Vice President Mike Pence — who will preside over the proceedings — to attempt to thwart Biden’s win.

“These guys better fight for Trump. Because if they’re not, guess what? I’m going to be in your backyard in a couple of months!” Donald Trump Jr. said, suggesting he would support primary campaigns against Republicans who did not side with his father on Wednesday.
