Hundreds of people came together on Wednesday at the Arizona Capitol to show support for President Donald Trump. With a more carnival feel to it, the event praised the debunked conspiracy theory that the November election was stolen. It's a stark contrast to the violence at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

The group started to pile in around 9 a.m. for the event, which was put on by the Arizona Republican Party. Many of the attendees had Trump 2020 flags and there were plenty of merchants selling pro-Trump gear. There are a couple of stages where different speakers addressed attendees.
"We will never recognize Joe Biden as our president," one speaker said as the crowd cheered. Â
