'This is completely peaceful,' Ali Alexander, national organizer of the pro-Trump group 'Stop the Steal,' said while pointing to the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday. 'This is we the people.'

A later tweet from Alexander suggested that"Antifa agitation" could be to blame. Although other pro-Trump conspiracy theorists have taken to social media with similar claims, no credible evidence exists to support the notion. Video shows the group storming the building while wearing"Make America Great Again" hats and carrying pro-Trump signs and flags.Alexander's claim that the situation was"completely peaceful" was clearly false.

Trump has continued to make unsubstantiated claims that the election was"fraudulent" despite the violence.
