Following the scenes of violence on cable television in the Oval Office, President Trump tweeted about an hour after the Capitol “fell.” He called on the protesters to “keep the peace.”
Mr. Joe Biden had to be broadcast live and condemned “this is not a protest but an uprising.” He called on President Trump to order an end to the riots.
Finally, President Trump posted a video on Twitter that read, “I know everyone has been hurt. We had a stolen election. It was a crushing election.” But everyone must go home now. We have to restore peace, law and order. “

Reuters commented that President Trump’s inability to contain his supporters contrasts with his attitudes last summer. At the time, he threatened to arrest and use force to quell anti-racist protests.
Democrats and some Republicans blamed President Trump for inciting violence on January 6. Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said: “Today’s violent attack on our Capitol, an attempt to subjugate American democracy, was prompted by Trump.”
By contrast, Trump supporters say there is no evidence that “they were photographed breaking into congressional meeting rooms on January 6.”
Longtime President Trump evangelist Mark Burns wrote on Twitter: “These are not President Trump supporters. This is an attack by the opposition.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also claimed that “the rioters are not Trump supporters.”
According to NBC News, about 7,000 Twitter posts mention protesters who “pretend to be Trump supporters” to storm the Capitol.
