UPDATE - Acting Secretary of Defence confirms it was VP Mike Pence, not President Trump who authorised deployment of the National Guard.

It doesn't end here.
Be at peace.
Had you stayed in the capitol, what would have happened? To what end then? You were heard, loudly. You showed these people that you can march into their halls and fight them on their own ground. You showed them, clearly, that their illusion of power is breaking. You rose up.
The President made the decision based on your safety, to ask you to depart for the day, as the National Guard had been called in from outside sources, someone had been shot; and emotions were being stoked ever higher.
You did not lose this day. You won it.
Four years ago, an army of Patriots marching on the capitol would have been unthinkable.
I know many of you wonder often, where does this road end? But understand that these powers are decades entrenched and their hold is incredibly strong.
The road, does not end here.
You rose up, you fought, and you won the day. You stopped their fraudulent actions and for a moment in time, you eclipsed their false power.
I am proud of you.
