Trump on the attack on Congress

After tweeting allegations of voter fraud and stealing the victory in the presidential election, after a violent mob stormed and ripped through Congress on Wednesday, Trump was banned from Twitter for twelve hours.

From night to Friday Norwegian time, he returned to the platform and posted a video of greeting to his followers.

– I want to start by addressing the heinous attack on Congress. “Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, anarchy and insanity,” Trump said in a video.

In addition, Trump claims he deployed the National Guard “immediately” and when the riots occurred.

– I immediately deployed the National Guard and the federal police authorities to secure the building and remove the intruders. The United States is, and must always be, a nation of public order.

However, CNN and the New York Times report that Trump was not behind the decision, instead targeting Vice President Mike Pence.

Pence himself was evacuated from the congressional building as Trump supporters entered when Joe Biden’s electoral victory would be certified.

Admit defeat

In the video, Trump says that “protesters who infiltrated the building have contaminated the headquarters of American democracy.”

– For you who participated in the riots: You do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law: they will pay, he says.

Trump acknowledges for the first time since the November 3 presidential election that he will be replaced by the incoming administration of US President Biden on January 20.

– Congress has certified the results of the elections. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20. My focus now is to ensure a smooth, orderly and smooth transition to power, he says in the video.

– Being your president has been the greatest honor of my life.

The case is being updated.
