As rioters continued to storm the steps of the U.S. Capitol in opposition to the 2020 election results, U.S. President Donald Trump was slow to formally address the nation about the havoc caused by his supporters. And when he finally took to social media on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, his message did not outright condemn the actions of the mob, but rather expressed a fondness. The minute-long video was originally shared on Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, but had been deleted by all three platforms at the time of writing. Before the video statement was taken down, Snopes was able to download the video and transcribe Trump's speech: In response to the above tweet and others shared by the president, Twitter deleted three posts and locked the account of @realDonaldTrump for 12 hours. If the tweets are not removed, the social media platform said that his account will remain locked.
