Timeline of the January 6 United States Capitol attack
The following article is a broad timeline of the course of events surrounding the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by rioters supporting United States President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
In his hour-long speech, President Trump suggested marching towards the Capitol, assuring his audience he would be with them, to demand that Congress "only count the electors who have been lawfully slated", and "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
The next day, Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died after suffering two strokes, having been physically attacked and pepper sprayed during the riot.
And we will not act on our own as TTPO, but rather as a united body of American patriots.“On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all – in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence.
78, ‘contrary to the Constitution, can be valid.’ The court in Hubbard v. Lowe reinforced this truth: ‘That an unconstitutional statute is not a law at all is a proposition no longer open to discussion.’ 226 F. 135, 137 (SDNY 1915), appeal dismissed, 242 U.S. 654 (1916).
At 12:53 p.m., eighteen minutes before Trump's speech ended, rioters overran police on the west perimeter of restricted Capitol grounds.
At 2:44 p.m., a Capitol Police officer inside the Speaker's Lobby adjacent to the House chambers shot and killed rioter Ashli Babbitt as she climbed through a broken window of a barricaded door.
By 3:15 p.m., assets from Virginia began rolling into D.C. An hour later, at 4:17 p.m, a video of Trump was uploaded to Twitter in which he instructed "you have to go home now."
States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud, plus corrupt process never received legislative approval.
"[174][175]It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore....We're going to try and give them [Republicans] the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country...The Democrats are hopeless—they never vote for anything.
We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.A White House employee breaks the news to Trump that a TV network did not broadcast the entirety of his speech in favor of footage of the Capitol riot.
The employee leaves briefly and returns with a Diet Coke, at which time Trump is still watching the TV coverage.
He made several phone calls, some to his personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, some to Members of Congress about continuing their objections to the electoral certification, even though the attack was well underway.
Here’s what President Trump did not do: He did not call any relevant law enforcement agency to ensure they were working to quell the violence.
[43] 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.
