"Daddy! Stop It!"

Lock Them All Up!

"We know, as he was sitting there in the dining room next to the Oval Office, members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television, to tell people to stop. We know Leader McCarthy was pleading with him to do that," she said, referring to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

"We know members of his family, we know his daughter — we have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence," she said.

In a one-minute video released on social media hours after the attack began, Trump repeated false claims about the election he lost while encouraging the rioters, who attacked the Capitol during a joint session of Congress to disrupt the counting of the electoral votes formalizing Joe Biden's win, to "go home in peace."

"Go home. We love you. You're very special," Trump said.

He tweeted later, "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."

Twitter took action against both messages and banned Trump after the riot, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence."

Then hang 'em high!
