President Donald Trump reposted a 5-year-old video on Friday, in which he asked January 6, 2021, rioters to go home after they violently stormed the Capitol building. The video, posted on his Truth Social account, shows Trump repeating his false claim that he won the 2020 election while urging the rioters to leave, saying "We have to have peace.
So go home, we love you, you’re very special." A White House spokesperson defended the repost, stating that it was meant to remind everyone that the Democrats' attempts to weaponize the justice system against Trump had been debunked. The context of the repost remains unclear, as it is not specified which cases Trump was referring to.
