I thought it was very weird that he kept pushing that point until everything else unfolded. He was keeping his true supporters away from the violence.
I haven’t re watched it, it just made a huge impression when I was there in the crowd. We were freezing our asses off, and it almost felt like he was rambling/stalling more than usual towards the end. No doubt in my mind though!
At the end of his long voter fraud segment I shouted "we get it!" and everyone laughed because we were tired as fuck and crammed in there like sardines. Crowd surfing would have been the only way I could have gotten to the Capitol in time to cause trouble.

That's incredible. I haven't actually watched the speech. I want to go do so now.
