Kind of want to know what the deleted tweets say though.

This was the one posted by DeRigueurMortis

These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

How is this going to end?

Were left wing, BLM groups actively discouraged from going because leading voices knew it would be best not to or was there just some collective sense it would be best to stay away? Just curious as I don't know much about how they are organised

Apparently, Biden has ignored BLM since he won the elections and the leader posted in their insta after she sent a letter the day after Biden won the elections so there you go.

@AcornAutumn

Because it incited violence.

I actually think he’s totally lost the plot. He actually believes this stolen election horse-shit.

@Jason118

Because he's a fucking lunatic

Well...if he's trying to call off the mob, then regardless, it's good the Tweet stays up.

I didn't see a Tweet that did that

Elizabeths shock at being maced is gold 😂😂

According to the news station I'm watching, there are still some protestors holed up in at least one darkened room and have made contact with others from there.

He fully believes it.

Puttin and Xi must be pissing themselves laughing.

They must be breaking out the good stuff in the Kremlin to celebrate a job well done

He’s a narcissist, he can’t believe anything other than that he won and everyone loves him.

"1 death is awful BUT its still ONLY one death."

With so many anti-maskers there today, my fear is that the would-be-coup will end up being a super-spreader event. Don't get me wrong; I give zero f**ks about the anti-maskers, I'm thinking about the police, the NG; anyone who was just trying to do their job.

This is the written one. The other one was a video saying the election was fraudulent, it was a landslide victory for him but it was stolen, he loves them (the mob) and they're special but they need to go home now. The man is insane.

Well I'll say this for Trump..he's never boring is he..

All tweets by Donald Trump that are not unambiguous condemnations of the assault on the Capitol are tweets endorsing it, @AcornAutumn.

All references to stolen elections are endorsements of the mob action and exhortations to further mob action.

Mitt Romney accusing Trump of inciting an insurrection.

Ah, blueangel19, think I recognise your name.

You're a pro-Trump poster aren't you?

How do you feel it's going?

Woah - Twitter has locked Trump's account:

@ClaireP20

I know I feel quite guilty for finding it all so compelling😶 They've just looked his Twitter account 😂😂😂😂

"I didn't see a Tweet that did that"

Look harder.

Besides, it's not like the vast majority trump supporters can read anyway.

Twitter safety @twittersafety
As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy.

This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.

Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.

Our public interest policy — which has guided our enforcement action in this area for years — ends where we believe the risk of harm is higher and/or more severe.

We’ll continue to evaluate the situation in real time, including examining activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter. We will keep the public informed, including if further escalation in our enforcement approach is necessary.

I believe Facebook have done similar.

To think that this was largely possible due to social media... What a crazy world.
