Tweets "Be there, will be wild!" summoning supporters to D.C. for Jan 6

Shortly after the meeting with Flynn and Powell ended, Trump tweeted at 1:42 AM: "Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" This tweet was immediately interpreted by extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers as a "stand back and stand by" activation order for the day Congress would certify the election.

"Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"
