Washington / Munich - It was clear early on that it would be a special day.
But not that it should be that special.

to move
to the
Capitol
on Wednesday

Peacefully - but also knowing how much he heated up the crowd.
Trump
had previously
spoken
of
fraud
in the
presidential election
repeatedly in his speech
and also
accused
Vice President
Mike Pence of
weakness because he announced in advance that he would not block the certification process.

Just obviously not when the President's name is Donald Trump.
