Facebook removes President Trump's video addressing the violent protests
• ABC27This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.

In the video from the Rose Garden of the White House, President Trump addresses his supporters saying "I know your pain. I know your hurt."
"We had an election that was stolen from us," Trump continues, citing a claim that has been widely disputed. The President urging the group at the Capitol to go home. "But you have to go home now," he said. "We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We don't want anybody hurt."
The last Facebook post from President Trump is from 3:14 p.m. stating, "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
