Ellipse rally speech: "We will never concede," directs crowd to Capitol
At the "Save America" rally at the Ellipse as Congress met to certify the Electoral College vote, Trump repeated false claims that the election was "stolen" and directed supporters toward the U.S. Capitol. He declared, "We will never give up. We will never concede" and warned, "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." He closed by telling the crowd they were going to "walk down Pennsylvania Avenue" and "go to the Capitol" to pressure lawmakers.
