Trump defends the storming of the Capitol

From CNN's Allie Malloy

President Trump is now defending the actions of his supporters who stormed and vandalized the Capitol.

“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away," he tweeted.

Trump concluded the tweet, rather stunningly, with “Remember this day forever!” There is no proof of widespread election fraud and the election was not stolen from Trump.

At the end of the tweet, Trump also called on the rioters to “go home with love & in peace.”
