Yes, a jubilant First Family addressing the crowd that then went on to invade the White House. For some reason I can't get this video out of my head, that there is real celebration over inciting a crowd of people to storm the Capital while both the Senate and the House were gathered to certify a democratically conducted election. It is on the one hand no more disgusting than all the rest of it, of course. He was a dictator want to be who made no bones about the fact that he thought there should be a Trump in the White House for many years to come, that somehow they would all be continually shielded from the law by their "elected" power.
Yet somehow I cannot get it out of my head. They are live streaming their excitement for what can only be seen as the incitement to do violence, break the law, and subvert the Constitution. Five people died as a result, and our national shame was broadcast around the world. The president of the United States encouraging a crowd waving Confederate flags to invade a place of government for the purpose of doing harm. No one erects a lynching scaffolding who comes to a gathering to be peaceful. This is where he leaves us.
