For weeks, President Trump and close allies spread claims of widespread voter fraud. Many believed them, setting the stage for a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

By Rebecca Ballhaus Close Rebecca Ballhaus , Joe Palazzolo Close Joe Palazzolo and Andrew Restuccia Close Andrew Restuccia Jan. 8, 2021 8:38 pm ET It took just a few hours for pro-Trump rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. Before that were weeks of rhetoric and encouragement from the president and a circle of close allies, whose actions are certain to draw closer scrutiny.

Share Your ThoughtsWhat do you believe caused the deadly U.S. Capitol riot? Join the conversation below. Mr. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. , warned those who didn’t back the pro-Trump efforts during a speech at the rally Wednesday: “We’re coming for you.” The White House, Mr. Giuliani and spokesman for Mr. Trump Jr. didn’t respond to requests for comment. On Friday, Mr. Flynn said he has “never encouraged violence” and had simply sought to “encourage the American people to stand up for truth and justice.”

As news outlets declared Mr. Biden the victor on Nov. 7, Mr. Giuliani blamed voter fraud for Mr. Biden’s win in Pennsylvania during an appearance at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, one of several similar events Trump allies held in swing states that week. The same day, Ms. Powell said in a Fox Business Network interview: “This is essentially a new American revolution. And anyone who wants this country to remain free needs to step up right now.”

In a Dec. 9 interview on a pro-Trump TV station called New Tang Dynasty Television, Mr. Wood said, “I believe there will be violence in our streets soon.” ‘Trial by combat’ Mr. Trump began promoting the Jan. 6 pro-Trump protest in Washington last month. The day after Christmas, he tweeted: “Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th.”

On the eve of Georgia’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff election, Mr. Trump held a rally in the state. Opening for his father, Mr. Trump Jr. told supporters as he urged them to vote: “We need to fight.” Mr. Wood joined the call for action. “The time has come Patriots. This is our time. Time to take back our country. Time to fight for our freedom. Pledge your lives, your fortunes, & your sacred honor…TODAY IS OUR DAY.”

It was a peaceful protest. Its not our fault you can't tell the truth.

That photo... and they call the Dems Orwellian?

NJdoc I think you mean Trump and his accomplices and accessories.

Sounds a lot like satan calling his followers.

Trump = Cop Killer. 'An accessory-after-the-fact is someone who assists 1) someone who has committed a crime, 2) after the person has committed the crime, 3) with knowledge that the person committed the crime, and 4) with the intent to help the person avoid arrest or punishment.'

Israel's Netanyahu called Trump and offered his help to him

Many support protests.

And the looters in the US last year were good democrats? Media are playing the stupud people......

If only we could figure out who owns the cult news network that indoctrinated them.

Big media says ' Trust us ,coronavirus isn't man-made'

No ,slander and gossip!

Anger steam was building and finally blew. That’s all that was

So the anti war protestors in the 60s occupying washington was acceptable but not Trump supporters? I don't like vandalism, but to protest ur government is exactly what happened in the 60s.

Is it true that President Putin has awarded the Order of Lenin to President Trump?

For a group of people who claim to be against Big Government(tm), they sure like the mob rule mentality and the Big Brother references and attitude are too stark to ignore. ImpeachTheBastard

Nancy CV is responsible Thanks Nancy

These guys do it daily!

'We won't win with weakness' This is an active coup and will be as long as the perpetrator still controls the WH. Who is to stop Trump from inviting his violent supporters, with weapons next time, to the WH lawn? The Pentagon did not and will not help us.

Damn!!! 🤣😳...? PrisonBreak by abochimusic out Now!!! Hallele

2020年美国大选的学术总结:超过1亿人的国家不适合采用普选选择总统,应该先按每5万人选出一个政务议员(目的:以此去掉一些政治冷感的人,防止一些政治冷感的人的选票被非法利用),再由全国政务议员投票选出美国总统,再由全国法务议员投票确认美国总统。

Kushner media and money, buy create their own platform to contrast media bias ....longetivy in the public eye. He needs craves the spotlight. Needs it to breathe, like water to drink.

Democrats pockets appear to be too deep for the Republican Party .. 🕳 🐇🐇

President Trump strikes fear in his opponents. This is just beginning. The Trump Machine will be with us for a long long time.

Fake news get a real job

You almost have to stop reading this communistic propaganda activism. I thought it would stop but it’s actually accelerating.

That’s not inciting a riot.

Fake news

Follow me I'm following you back instantly

Bad man💔💔😡😡😡

95% only bad news(

Biden’s tyranny begins !!!

So prosecute him.

That rally wasn't something that got out of hand, it was deadly plan from the get-go.

This is all such performative nonsense. What a joke

With your help and approval ffs.

There was widespread voter fraud and illegal voting changes by some states. Try telling the truth!

That’s on the Dems,

...many still believe, that there really WAS voter/election FRAUD‼️‼️

All y’all over there at the WSJ sure he’ll gave him a leg up on a consistent basis. Don’t pull a holier than thou bit now. 🙄

Feeling ashamed yet, 'good citizens'?

Yeah. Thanks for 'keeping up' with the story. Anyone ever explain 'STRATEGIC COVERAGE' to you?

Voter fraud is a fact, w/ over a thousand witnesses under affidavits, proven, documented, evidenced in black & white, on tapes, confirmed by experts after thorough investigations, a few even confirmed by state governments, high courts, admitted, corrected & reversed.....ru blind?

Where the voices of men are silenced one day that people will be silent forever, never again will we hear their voices that is the law of the universe.

Here it is Folks.. Sedition..Arrest Trump!!!

As did the WSJ. You have spread Trump’s lies and misinformation for four years. Blood is also on your hands.

Trump stated that he would claim election fraud if he lost a close election to JoeBiden he set the wheels in motion months ago. With no proof, he successfully spread his hate ideology in order to orchestrate this coup attempt. Criminal. 25AmendmentNow TrumpBanned trumptreason

You're a good lady Nicole_Crypto1 thanks for helping me earn a lot in less than 48hours, I'll forever be greatful to you Nicole_Crypto1 Thanks.

Good recap, strange how the Murdochs’ other assets are encouraged to spread lies and disinformation to lay the grounds for a coup, in their adopted country.

The GOP’s choice in 2024: Trump Ultra, Trump Lite or Trump ZeroThe former president’s grip on the party base is so total that top Republicans say the path to the nomination is best defined by the degree of loyalty to him.

‘Orwell’s 1984’: Trump allies slam Twitter over president's suspensionTrump’s allies took to Twitter today to denounce the social media giant for permanently deactivating the president’s account for glorifying violence McCain from the grave here- 1/8/2017 on Meet the Press I started this slow motion coup against Trump. bc I'm a sore loser I went along with America's cancer, the Clintons, targeting whatever faith and trust was left in American politics. Biden will finish it off. See you in hell I must have missed the part where Big Brother was a privately owned company. Also, if he did get section 230 changed, he would have lost the account anyway due to the risk of liability the companies would then have. It’s just an early start.

Don't expect charges against Trump or allies for inciting Capitol siege, say DOJ officialsThe Justice Department does not plan on seeking incitement charges against President Trump for his actions at the rally that led up to Wednesday's attack on the Capitol. Just impeach him 🙄 If you need your bills paid send me a dm Charles Manson wasn’t at the Tate home, but he was convicted of the murders along with the murderers. Why? Because he incited the crime! Sound familiar

Trump Allies Criticize Twitter’s Ban on President’s Account - WSJ.comAllies of President Trump, including Sen. Ted Cruz, decried Twitter’s ban of his account, arguing it represented the biggest move yet to silence conservative voices It's almost as if there were some sort of really good reason for silencing these poor, misunderstood, unfairly maligned conservative voices. You all speak with one voice. How many accounts do you need? Again, WSJ amplifies ridiculous GOP talking points without fact-checking them. The First Amendment is not meant to force private companies to amplify the government’s message. That’s state media. Republicans want state media.
