WATCH: President Donald Trump's Full January 6 Rally Speech

On January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump delivered a speech in Washington, D.C., repeating false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and urging supporters to march to the Capitol. Throughout his remarks, Trump called on his followers to “fight like hell” and declared he would “never concede.” While he also told the crowd to protest “peacefully and patriotically,” his speech was widely seen as inciting the events that followed, which delayed Congress’s certification of Joe Biden’s victory and resulted in violence at the Capitol. The speech became a central focus of Trump’s subsequent impeachment trial, as lawmakers debated his responsibility for the day’s events.
