‘Why Don’t We Just Kill Them?’ Committee Reveals How MAGA Supporters Responded to Trump’s ‘Will Be Wild’ Tweet

The U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack on Tuesday revealed then-President Donald Trump’s now-infamous December 19, 2020 tweet promoting January 6 as an important day for his supporters to come to the Capitol was received. “Be there, will be wild,” Trump had told them.
The Committee explained that Trump posted his “will be wild” tweet as a last-ditch effort to retain power, after being told for weeks by many, including his White House Counsel, that he had lost re-election and there were no legal avenues to stay in office.
In this video, the Committee features the responses to Trump’s tweet, from far-right extremists including Alex Jones. One declared January 6 would be a “Red Wedding,” a reference to “mass slaughter,” Rep. Jamie Raskin noted, from the HBO series “Games of Thrones.”
The Jan. 6 committee plays a bunch of clips from pro-Trump YouTubers and media—including Tim Pool and Alex Jones—hyping up the Jan. 6 rally and calling for supporters to descend upon Washington for a “Red Wedding” immediately after Trump’s Dec. 19 tweet. pic.twitter.com/SK1mFKqhCX

“Why don’t we just kill them?” one Twitter user apparently said. “Every last Democrat.”
Worth noting: “The Turner Diaries” is not some esoteric piece of white supremacist fiction. It directly inspired Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh. It remains widely read among the accelerationist, violently racist far-right. https://t.co/C6PCz4ds38
