Then-President Donald Trump objected to scripted remarks prepared by his staff one day after last year’s Capitol riot, saying, “I don’t want to say the election is over.”
, Trump quibbled with a duplicative condemnation of rioters who disrupted certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and said he wanted to remove words saying the 2020 election was settled.“And to those who broke the law, you will pay. You do not represent our movement, you do not represent our country. And if you broke the law —,” Trump read from a teleprompter before pausing and shaking his head in disapproval.
In another cut, he said, “But this election is now over. Congress has certified the results,” before again halting to protest, “I don’t want to say the election is over. I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election’s over, okay?” The Capitol riot select committee showed the video to the House of Representatives as reason for why Trump is unfit to hold office again in 2024.“Right. I didn’t say ‘over’ so let’s — let me see. Go to the paragraph before,” Trump said, reviewing the revision.
