That quote was 187 minutes from the capital attack. Yes. Over 3 hours after, when it was clear congress was not going to be destroyed.
Quotes from earlier in the day, before the attack on the capital building.
In the 70 minute speech he made one statement about being peaceful. He said: "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
Which is his only defense in this whole thing, and flies completely in the face of what he'd been saying for months prior.
On Jan 6th, prior to the attack, Trump had urged his supporters to “get rid of the weak Congress people” — “get the weak ones get out. This is the time for strength.”
'We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen'
He went on: "You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore."
"You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can't let that happen."
'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore'
'We are going to the Capitol'
He said: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them."
'We will stop the steal'
Then the mob went and attacked the capital building, while Congress was in session to confirm the transfer. They went, but Trump doe not. Even though he told them he was going with them.
'We are going to the Capitol'
Holy Schnikies. This same rhetoric is used all the time in politics by both sides. Stop for a minute, take a deep breath and think about what you are saying. Are making statements like this grounds to take someone off the ballot?
