‘Protesters Are in The Building’: How an Electoral Count Turned Into Chaos
As Congress met to certify the election results, President Trump held a simultaneous rally. Watch these moments unfold side by side to see how his speech incited a mob that broke into the Capitol.

God bless you, and God bless America.” “We’re debating a step that has never been taken in American history: whether Congress should overrule the voters and overturn a presidential election.” “All of us take our responsibility seriously.” “Let’s go!” “I would urge my colleagues, don’t take perhaps the easy path.” “And the Electoral College is the mechanism by which the people select the president. But if Congress gets to decide which states get to vote in the Electoral College, then clearly, Congress is selecting the president, not the people.” “On the steps of the back side of the Capitol, we’re seeing protesters overcome the police. The police are now running back into the Capitol building.” “Take that House! Take it now!” “My challenge today is not about the good people of Arizona —” [gavel banging] “And it will stand in recess until the call of the chair.” “We’ll pause.” “Protesters are in the building.” “Thank you.” “It wasn’t anything you said.” [shouting] [shouting] [shouting] On loudspeaker: “All individuals must leave the U.S. Capitol grounds.” “The Senate will come to order. Today was a dark day in the history of the United States Capitol.”
