Many of these rioters believed that the election was "rigged" and that there was widespread voter fraud relating to how the elections were run. Mike Pence had released a statement that said he was not constitutionally empowered to decide which electoral votes were counted. Trump told his supporters at a rally that morning that "I hope Mike Pence comes through for us". The rioters were hoping to disrupt the vote count and pressure Pence and other Republicans to attempt to overturn the election results. ]]> 2021-01-08 16:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067702685 How did the protesters successfully intrude the capitol? gmc231 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067705883 Trump encouraged a march at the capitol. He believed it was a landslide election. Officers and security didn't do as well of a job as they could to protect the building. Hundreds of Trump supporters forcibly entered the capitol. Shortly after the riot, Trump made a statement praising the domestic terrorists, using phrases like "I love you" and "You are special". ]]> 2021-01-08 16:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067705883 Who was involved? ass231 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067706492 President Trump inspired rioters to storm the US Capitol building. Joe Biden's status as president was being finalized, so the rioters were trying to make sure that does not happen. Senators who were there were rushed out of the building. Accusations against multiple states and their voting procedures got them involved in this event as well. ]]> 2021-01-08 16:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067706492 What? ass231 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067707198 Trump rioters stormed into the Capitol building, chasing officers, and sitting in people's offices.  Found 2 bombs near the building, and the rioters tried to get to the congress men and women.]]> 2021-01-08 16:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067707198 When? ass231 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067707905 2021-01-08 16:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067707905 Where? ass231 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067708701 US Capitol (Washington, D.C.)]]> 2021-01-08 16:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067708701 ss232 https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067708840 Yes, during the war of 1812 the British invaded the capital and set it  on fire but the British retreated after a storm came and extinguished the fire]]> 2021-01-08 16:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/needham/a4pdxc2m52kpa2k1/wish/1067708840 Trump was telling the world that the votes for the presidential election were rigged and was encouraging false information.
