After President-Elect Joe Biden called on Trump to condemn the riots unfolding at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Trump tweeted what looked like a pre-recorded video.

In it, Trump does ask the mob to go home, but not before claiming that the election was "stolen from us" (an unfounded claim). He also tells rioters, "We love you, you're very special."

Twitter quickly slapped a warning label on the video, which reads, "This claim of election fraud is disputed and this Tweet can't be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence."

When asked if Twitter would remove the video, a company spokesperson replied, "The tweet is currently labeled in line with our civic integrity policy."
