Then-President Donald Trump addressed an enormous crowd in front of the White House on Jan. 6. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he loudly declared to the thousands of people gathered.
He added: “After this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. … We’re going to walk down to the Capitol … because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength. … We re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue … and we re going to the Capitol.”
