Background:
The "Save America March" was set to be Patriotic Day to show support for President Trump, support voter integrity and to call for a forensic audit of votes in key states. DC Mayor Bowser called out the National Guard, ordered a curfew and closed gas stations, markets and hotels ahead of the March. Thousands of people showed up to hear President Trump speak on the Ellipse as the House and Senate convened to certify the electoral votes presided over by Vice President Pence. Trump aid to "March peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol to let your voices be heard." However, on that day there would be unforeseen circumstances. BLM and Antifa had infiltrated the crowd as Trump supporters and what was suppose to be peaceful and patriotic was anything but. Ashli Babbitt lost her life after being shot by a DC police officer and many were injured as the crowd breached the Capitol and entered the Chamber. It is still unclear if a stand down order was given and by whom and how this was allowed to happen. After the evacuation order was lifted the Joint Session reconvened and Mike Pence certified the vote for Biden. Trump issues an order for marchers to disperse and go home. Social and MSM give that call to action little or no coverage. Republicans lost the Senate race in Georgia so Pelosi, Schumer and Biden now control all three branches of Government.
