On January 6, in a speech preceding the storming of the U.S. Capitol, then-President Donald Trump made remarks widely interpreted as inciting violence. He repeatedly urged his supporters to "fight" and "never concede," falsely claiming the election was stolen and encouraging them to march to the Capitol. Trump's rhetoric, which included statements like "We will not take it anymore" and "You'll never take back our country with weakness," fueled the anger and fervor of his followers, ultimately culminating in the violent breach of the Capitol building, resulting in multiple deaths and widespread chaos. Many have pointed to Trump's speech as a direct catalyst for the insurrection, leading to his impeachment by the House of Representatives on charges of incitement of insurrection.
