The story, as initially published, is below.
Twitter labeled, but did not remove, a video posted by President Donald Trump in which he sympathized with a violent mob of supporters.
After President-Elect Joe Biden called on Trump to condemn the riots unfolding at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Trump tweeted what looked like a pre-recorded video.
In it, Trump does ask the mob to go home, but not before claiming that the election was “stolen from us” (an unfounded claim). He also tells rioters, “We love you, you’re very special.”
